Every year, more than 460 million tonnes of plastic are produced worldwide
(The figure just keeps growing)
On average, each of the 90 million vehicles produced annually contains 186 kg of plastic
(That’s over 16 million tons of virgin plastic that could be replaced with recycled or biomass alternatives)
The path to reducing emissions and virgin plastics – and updating specifications – will be bumpy. There’s no doubt. But change is already accelerating and, together, we can tackle obstacles to find bold new solutions. Are you ready to jump into the driver’s seat?
Since being created in 2022 by FORVIA to develop materials with up to 85% lower CO₂ emissions, MATERI’ACT has been working day (and sometimes night) to come up with smart alternatives to virgin plastics – that can take performance to the next level.
Keeping the plastic items that we throw away out of landfills and in the circular…
Transforming biomass like hemp, pineapple fibres and oyster shells into shiny new materials.
So far, we’ve already been joined by forward-thinking companies and OEMs looking to develop lower-impact alternatives for their products. Together, we’ve tested innovative solutions like injecting oyster shells into car cockpits. This is just the beginning!
