Bcomp works with engineering specialist HWA to phase in natural fiber bumpers, replacing carbon fiber versions. Analyses report a 90% reduction in material emissions and thermal energy recovery potential.

The small SUV, which focuses on sustainability and is designed to have the lowest carbon footprint of any model in Volvo Cars’ history, incorporates Bcomp ampliTex fibers in its dashboard and door trim.

Central to the consortium’s efforts are the creation of fast-curing, bio-based resins for press curing, self-healing bio-based composites and demonstration of their feasibility.

Japan’s premiere single-seater race series confirms hybrid composite parts for SF23 chassis as part of Next 50 plan.

Composites manufacturing intelligence drives circular economy solutions as automotive industry balances technical demands with sustainability mandates.

Compatible with Bcomp’s powerRibs reinforcement grid, the family of natural fiber materials drives enhanced stiffness, lightweight and a reduced footprint for motorsports and high-performance automotive applications.

Tras, a Japanese design and manufacturing studio, draws from decades of composites work in motorsport to develop the sustainable ampliTEX-based chair.

Bcomp’s natural flax fibers and bio-based resin derived from rapeseed oil ensures sustainability, safety and significant weight savings. 

New in-house capabilities will allow the sustainable lightweight manufacturer to explore a more scalable production process for its natural fiber solutions.

Built with ampliTex flax fabrics, a solid cork core and Sicomin plant-based resins, the company’s Värmdö kayak model highlights an environmentally conscious design for paddlers of all levels.
