The prototype was produced at Motherson\u2019s facility in Tuscaloosa, Alabama, with feasibility assessment and testing led by the Global Innovation Team in Germany. Additionally, the component has undergone performance tests, including climate testing and mechanical properties evaluation.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">\u201cThis collaboration with PureCycle is an important step toward integrating recycled\u00a0materials\u00a0into applications that meet the high requirements of premium OEMs for Class-A surfaces,\u201d said Fabian Wehrle, Global Innovation Exterior Engineer at Motherson. \u201cWe want to evaluate this through extensive testing to meet the expectations of our customers in the automotive industry and to comply with the requirements of the EU End-of-Life Vehicles Directive.\u201d<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">As part of the European Union\u2019s End-of-Life Vehicles (ELV) Regulation, by 2032,\u00a0new vehicles must contain at least 15% recycled plastic content, with a minimum of 3% sourced from end-of-life vehicles. Then by 2036, those thresholds will increase to 25% and 5%, respectively.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">PureCycle\u2019s patented dissolution recycling process removes colour, odour, and contaminants from post-consumer polypropylene, producing PureFive resin with properties similar to virgin material.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">For automakers and Tier 1 suppliers targeting the European market, the Motherson\u2013PureCycle bumper prototype provides a scalable blueprint for 2032 compliance. PureCycle is expanding its production footprint with a new dissolution recycling facility in Antwerp, Belgium, expected to be operational in 2029.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">\u201cThis bumper represents exactly why there is such excitement around PureCycle and dissolution recycling. For years, the automotive industry has been working to combine recycled materials with Class A quality. In collaboration with Motherson, there are now promising approaches to making this a reality,\u201d said Nicolas Elwing, PureCycle\u2019s Senior Director of Commercial in Europe. \u201cWith EU ELVR mandates approaching and OEMs searching for qualified, traceable recycled material, PureFive\u00a0is ready to be that solution. We look forward to sharing the news about this breakthrough at Startup Autobahn Expo.\u201d<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><em><strong>interplasinsights<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<div style=\"margin-top: 20px\" class=\"zaya-short-link\">\n    <span><strong>Short link : <\/strong> https:\/\/zaya.io\/h7er8<\/span>\n    <a href=\"#\" title=\"\u06a9\u067e\u06cc \u06a9\u0646\u06cc\u062f\" class=\"zaya-shortlink\"\n       style=\"font-size:10px;margin-right:5px;background-color:#eee;display:inline-block;padding:0 5px;border-radius: 4px;\"\n       data-url=\"https:\/\/zaya.io\/h7er8\">\u06a9\u067e\u06cc \u06a9\u0646\u06cc\u062f<\/a>\n<\/div>\n<script>\n    document.addEventListener(\"DOMContentLoaded\", function () {\n        \"use strict\";\n        document.querySelectorAll(\".zaya-shortlink\").forEach(function (element) {\n            element.addEventListener(\"click\", function (e) {\n                e.preventDefault();\n                try {\n                    let url = this.dataset.url;\n                    let tempInput = document.createElement(\"input\");\n                    document.body.append(tempInput);\n                    tempInput.value = url;\n                    tempInput.select();\n                    document.execCommand(\"copy\");\n                    tempInput.remove();\n                    this.textContent = \"\u06a9\u067e\u06cc \u0634\u062f\"\n                } catch (e) {\n                }\n            });\n        });\n    });\n<\/script>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Iranpolymer\/Baspar \u00a0PureCycle Technologies Inc\u00a0and the Modules &amp; Polymer Products Division of\u00a0Motherson\u00a0have successfully produced a Class-A surface\u00a0automotive\u00a0bumper prototype utilising 30% PureFive\u00a0recycled\u00a0polypropylene.
