Plastic is a logical and proven choice for vehicle designers and engineers who want to reduce weight, improve performance, and manage costs. But until recently, molded-in color plastic parts were not the go-to choice for exterior vehicle components, mainly because they couldn’t meet performance and appearance targets.

In addition, the plastic waste problem remains a priority for our world and our industry, as education eff orts on the sustainable and inherent benefits of polymers run in parallel with collaborative work to eliminate plastic waste. That’s why in January of 2019 we were very proud to have joined the Alliance to End Plastic Waste (AEPW) as a founding member. It’s inspiring to see the cross value chain activities taking shape, and I believe we are on an encouraging path to ultimately solve the plastic waste problem.

Solutions to advance a circular economy and minimize plastic waste

According to the American Chemistry Council, plastic components make up 50 percent of a vehicle’s volume, but only 10 percent of its weight.
