McLaren Racing, together with Bcomp, has developed F1’s first natural fiber composite racing seat — replacing conventional carbon fiber with a flax-based composite solution without compromising safety, stiffness, or performance. The technology combines ampliTex™ flax reinforcement with powerRibs™ — a biomimetic structure inspired by leaf veins — delivering high structural efficiency, improved vibration damping, and a more controlled failure behavior compared to traditional composites. 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗹𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁𝘄𝗲𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗶𝗺𝗽𝗮𝗰𝘁: 1. ~9% weight reduction compared to carbon-based solutions 2. Up to 5× better vibration damping 3. Up to 75% reduction in CO₂ footprint This is a great example of how future lightweight design is not only about reducing mass — but optimizing the complete system: performance, safety, comfort, and sustain...

To get the twist effect, you typically need: - Lower modulus. - Lower "resilience". The material must reach permanent deformation state easier. - Lower Melt Viscosity/ Higher Melt flow. In PP films, the “plasticizer” can be added in masterbatch form for better performance and homogeneity. Maneuvering the plasticizer chemicals are not easy task and they need to be well dispersed in a polymeric matrix. Processing will be also improved (higher output, lower energy consumption). Add only what you need! Otherwise, like a medicine, you might face negative counter effects. source : Polimerizze Technology

PureCycle Technologies Inc. (Nasdaq: PCT), a U.S.-based company revolutionizing plastic recycling, and the Modules & Polymer Products Division of Motherson today announced the successful production of a Class-A surface automotive bumper prototype incorporating 30% PureFive® recycled polypropylene. The two companies will share details with the global automotive and sustainability communities at the Stuttgart, Germany Startup Autobahn Expo, the world’s largest automotive innovation platform, on July 2, 2026. The bumper prototype was produced at Motherson’s facility in Tuscaloosa, Alabama, with feasibility assessment and testing led by the Global Innovation Team in Germany. The component has since undergone rigorous performance tests, including climate testing and mechanical properties evaluation. The results will be part of the presentation at this week’s conference. Fabian Wehrle, Global Innovation Exterior Engineer at Motherson, says: “This collaboration with PureCycle is an import...

Sulzer has been selected by WPU, part of Vitol, a global energy and commodities company, to provide its PyroCon™ technology and engineering services for its new chemical #recyclingfacility in the Netherlands. The new WPU site will process up to 80,000 tonnes of mixed #plasticwaste per year, converting it into reusable raw material. #WPU’s new facility located next to Vitol’s VPR refinery in the Port of Rotterdam will process large volumes of plastic waste. WPU’s proprietary technology converts the waste plastic into gas, through a #pyrolysis process. Sulzer’s PyroCon™ technology then cools and condenses these vapors into a liquid feedstock that can be used to produce new plastic materials.  Sulzer will also provide engineering services to support project execution, delivering a complete skid‑mounted modular solution. Basic engineering for the project was completed in Q1 2026, with first skid deliveries scheduled for Q1 2027 in line with the project timeline.  Turning compl...
