Less CO2 through the use of innovative technologies and materials

Save resources.

 

At Pöppelmann K-TECH® we are already working today on the issues of tomorrow. Our innovative plastic solutions have the potential to make a significant contribution to CO2 reduction in the automotive and industrial sectors. By using special materials and technologies, we can help to make vehicles and production processes more environmentally friendly and sustainable.


In view of the growing importance of greenhouse gas emissions in the product life cycle, we have set ourselves the goal of reducing the CO2 footprint.

Use of recycled materials

Use of PIR

77% less CO₂ thanks to innovative TSG technology and use of PIR

.


Our wash cap (PIR + 10% PCR) demonstrates our commitment to environmental friendliness. Since 2021, we have been collecting used components from customers and feeding them into the regranulation process. Pöppelmann trucks collect the parts and new automotive components are made from the recycled pellets. With our Design for Recycling, we close material loops. By using Pöppelmann recyclate PP TV 20 and manufacturing using the TSG process, we save 570 tons of material and reduce our CO₂ emissions by 5,777 tons of CO₂e. This reduces the CO₂ material impact by an impressive 77%. Pöppelmann K-TECH focuses on innovation and sustainability for a better future.

Use of PCR

50% less CO2 through the use of PCR + 10% processed residual materials.


The holder of the sound generator is the first component in the automotive sector to be made entirely from PCR material (post-consumer recycled material) - a milestone for sustainable mobility. PCR is made from yellow bag waste and is optimized by sorting, cleaning and compounding with glass fibre and additives. It therefore meets the highest quality requirements of the automotive industry. The use of PCR reduces emissions by 50% compared to new material and conserves resources. This project shows how recycling and innovative technologies can create sustainable solutions for the mobility of the future. The sound generator holder stands for our commitment to realizing resource-saving products in series production.

CO2-OPTIMIZED through weight reduction

Innovative seat shell design – Lightweight, functional, sustainable

 

With our 1-stage process, we are setting new standards in lightweight construction: by replacing steel with plastic, we save 500 grams per seat, improve vehicle dynamics and reduce CO₂ emissions. At the same time, the integration of functions enables more efficient production with less assembly work. This innovation illustrates how technological excellence and sustainability are linked. Together with our customers, we develop solutions that meet both technical and ecological requirements - a contribution to the mobility of tomorrow.

CO2-OPTIMIZED through material savings

74% less CO₂ thanks to innovative TSG technology and use of PIR

.


With our TSG technology and optimized material selection, we are setting standards in sustainability. By switching the battery floor panel from PA 6 GF15 to PP TV20 and TSG, we were able to save 8.6 tons of weight per year and reduce emissions by an impressive 222 tons of CO2e. Overall, this means a CO2eq impact of -74% compared to conventional materials. With an annual production of 350,000 units, we prove that innovative technologies and environmental awareness go hand in hand.
