Bio-based materials, such as corn- and castor oil-based plastics,
natural fiber reinforcements, and soy-based foam, have already been
tested and deployed in a number of automotive components—door interiors,
seating, package shelves, and underbody panels, for example.” says
Bernard Swiecki, senior project manager and the study’s lead. “Although
still in its infancy, the use of bio-based materials by the automotive
industry has been gradually accelerating over the last several years.
Many companies in the Great Lakes region are examining the use of
bio-based materials in their automotive parts and components. The region
is the nucleus for automotive component research and manufacturing and
provides a major source of the feedstock crops used to produce bio-based
materials.”
The study, produced by the Sustainability and Economic Development
Strategies group at CAR, examines the bio-based automotive parts and
components market and identifies several successful approaches to
increase commercialization of bio-based materials in automotive
components. This report includes an examination of the status of current
bio-based materials technology and use within the automotive industry,
emerging industry trends toward deployment of bio-based materials,
leading organizations that are active in the automotive bio-based
materials sector, and feedstock and resource base considerations
associated with production of bio- based materials.Search For Car Parts
