Plastics are a great material choice for the production of electric vehicles due to their ease of moulding and high degree of adaptability (EV).
The range between charges is increased by using plastics in EVs since they are more durable and lighter. Because of its elegant surface, PVC is employed in dashboards and automobile tanks.
Plastic made from acrylonitrile butadiene styrene is also used to make dashboards and steering wheels (ABS).
The primary driver of the expansion of plastics used in electric vehicle interiors is the widespread application of plastic in interior components including consoles, steering wheels, and floors.
The Global EV Recycled ABS Plastic market accounted for $XX Billion in 2022 and is anticipated to reach $XX Billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of XX% from 2023 to 2030.
An electric vehicle that is primarily created from recycled garbage is the result of creative design and engineering. ABS recycled during production goes into the external panels.
They don’t use paint. From a wrap, the colour comes. In order to reduce system losses, the vehicle uses hub motors in the rear wheels.
The team estimates that the car gets 180 km/liter of gasoline, or 423.4 mpg, as its comparative economy. Its top speed is 90 km/h, and it has a 220 km range.
The vehicle has two seats, and the cushions are coated in a fabric created from recycled PET and are constructed of a blend of coconut fibre and horsehair.
The thermoplastic honeycomb core material used in the seat support structure was created by material provider EconCore using recycled PET as a starting material.
More than 20 m2 of recycled honeycomb core material are used overall by the vehicle. As components of the battery housing and dash, the entire chassis is constructed out of it.
The bonding of the recycled PET core to a composite sheet composed of flax fibres and a recycled polyolefin matrix was one of the material/manufacturing issues that needed to be resolved.
Another facet of the vehicle’s environmental friendliness is its significant usage of recycled PET. Only 10 times can PET be recycled.
When compared to other products created using recycled PET, such as plastic soda bottles, the lifespan of a car is substantially greater, therefore the material will have a much longer lifecycle in vehicles.
