Sustainable Materials
Think Green. Rethink Interior. The use of sustainable decorations and materials in the automotive field has long since developed from a nice-to-have to a must-have. The future of mobility is no longer only determined by alternative drive concepts; the interior is also being rethought – and it is becoming increasingly ecological. Resource conservation, recyclability and energy efficiency determine production and design. This means that sustainable substrates are becoming ever more important. KURZ makes a key contribution to this: Through surface aesthetics based on sustainability x style.
Sustainable materials – sound arguments:
- Catalysts for new interior concepts
- Versatile design variants – great design freedom
- Significantly reduced carbon footprint
Material innovation: EcoLayer FX
Sustainable substrates can meet both requirements: Design freedom and high environmental standards. EcoLayer FX enables premium design effects on plastic materials such as polypropylene (PP) with cellulose content, limestone-PP composites, or talc-reinforced PP compounds. Surface designs can be produced with high processing quality and an appealing appearance, opening up new possibilities for sophisticated styling.
EcoLayer FX showcases premium surface decoration on natural and recyclable materials. This makes it possible to combine sustainable material strategies with sophisticated design and high surface quality.
The ultra-thin decorative layer is finer than a human hair, enabling material efficient surface solutions while largely preserving the recyclability of the component – depending on the material composition, layer structure, and available recycling process.
Advantages:
- Decoration for bio-based plastics
- High-quality design effects
- Ultra-thin-film decoration
- No compromises in conversion or appearance
