    As green materials ensure sustainable mobility, the automotive industry is constantly working to make vehicle production sustainable


    With the bio-based plastic Roechling-BioBoom, Roechling Automotive is the only company on the market with the technology for a bio-based material based on polylactic acid (PLA), which consists of more than 90% renewable raw materials


    Professor Hanns-Peter Knaebel, Chairman of the Board of Management and CEO of Röchling Motors, said: "We want to support our customers in developing environmentally friendly vehicles and thus drive the transition of the automotive industry towards sustainable development


    Compared to standard PLA, the new bio-based material has significantly improved thermal stability and chemical resistance, meeting the company's high technical requirements and specifications


    The greenhouse gas emission reduction efficiency of Roechling BioBoom is 70% higher than that of PP and nearly 90% higher than that of PA6


    There are currently three standard types of bio-based materials for Röchling Automotive, suitable for applications in engine compartment, underbody and interior products


    With the launch of Roechling BioBoom, the plastics-specialized company has once again cemented its pioneering position in the industry
