How can the automotive industry be more sustainable? The solution is in BIOMAT project and it will be highlighted at Automotive Interiors Expo, the European exhibition that takes place between November 9th and 11th, in Stuttgart, Germany.
The Automotive Interiors Expo Europe is one of the biggest events for the sector and brings together the world’s leading manufacturers of vehicle interior components and systems. The event is a great opportunity to get familiar with the latest developments in materials for the automotive sector, such as a wide range of fabrics, acoustical materials, shape-forming materials and foams, fasteners and adhesive systems, lighting and more. Just the perfect place for BIOMAT.
BIOMAT’s main goal is to establish an Open Innovation Test Bed (BIOMAT-TB) to provide technologies transfer and related services to the European SMEs and industries, thus, accelerating and facilitating the uptake of the innovations in nano-enabled biobased polyurethanes (bio-PUR).
Throughout the Project, demonstrators will be developed for industries such as Building, Construction, Automotive, Furniture & Bedding sectors. For the automotive, the demonstrators will be bio-PUR based seat cushions, head seats, and steering wheels.
The BIOMAT Project and its impact on the industry will be disclosed at the From Portugal showcase (A4448 and A4451).
