BIOMOTIVE (FASE I): biodegradable material for the automotive sector

During the initial phases of the project, a state-of-the-art study and review of existing solutions have been conducted, along with the identification of existing materials with the greatest application potential. In this context, the characterization of materials such as those developed by Feltwood has begun, analyzing key aspects such as formability, mechanical behavior, and response to different manufacturing processes.

Additionally, processing and joining strategies are being studied to enable the proper integration of these materials into real applications. This work includes evaluating properties such as adhesion, stability, and performance under use conditions—critical aspects for industrial validation.

At the same time, the industrial feasibility of these materials is being assessed, considering their scalability and compatibility with existing production processes. This approach will help lay the groundwork for their future implementation in real components, supporting the transition toward more sustainable solutions.

With BioMotive, the consortium formed by CAAR, CEAGA, CELULOSA FÁBRIL, MRA, LASIT, and ATRIA is working in a coordinated manner to develop innovative solutions that contribute to a more sustainable industry, promoting the use of renewable materials and reducing dependence on fossil-based plastics.
