Grupo Antolin has developed a new sustainable car headliner produced from organic waste.
It has developed a headliner substrate for vehicles with polyurethane obtained from organic waste and recycled PET bottles.
The headliner is laminated with a textile made from recycled polyester fibres.
The headliner, which has been released in serial production for an unnamed new car model, has the same appearance and properties than a standard headliner, so the sustainability improvement happens without any reduction in mechanical or physical properties. This achievement has been made possible by a manufacturing process developed in collaboration with key suppliers.
For the core PU foam, the supplier has developed a process by which the fossil-based raw materials have been replaced by renewable feedstock derived from organic waste or food industry residues.
The fabric laminated to the headliner substrate has been manufactured by Borgstena entirely with polyester yarns from recycled PET bottles and using electricity from renewable sources in the manufacturing process.
