On May 8th, the Ministry of Ecology and Environment and five other departments jointly issued a notice on matters related to the implementation of the National VI Emission Standards for automobiles. It was determined that starting from July 1, 2023, the 6B stage of the national VI emission standards will be fully implemented nationwide, and the production, import, and sale of vehicles that do not meet the 6B stage of the national VI emission standards will be prohibited.

Interestingly, some people believe that the emission standards for vehicles in China‘s VI B have accelerated the demand for recycled materials in the automotive industry.

This is because the new emission standards also require upgrades to the performance of major components such as the engine and gearbox of automobiles, resulting in higher requirements for the basic materials of related components. But the most important thing is to meet the lightweight requirements of automobiles.

The recycled plastics used by various power car manufacturers in automobiles are mainly for automotive interiors, such as recycled PET materials used for seat fabrics (as previously mentioned by the editor, click to view the original text "Will you pay for recycled plastic seats in luxury cars; Recycled PC material for automotive headlight lampshade (click to view original text) Product Application (Talking about Car Lamp Covers); PP, PE, ABS and other bulk plastics are used in various interior decorations such as the dashboard, foot mats, and door inner panels.

Recycled PET knitted seats

At present, many mainstream car manufacturers have stepped up the use of recycled plastics in expanding the range of car interiors, but we also need to maintain a calm mind and think that recycled materials can indeed make cars lighter, more environmentally friendly, and lower carbon. However, this is also to some extent detrimental to the development of diversified demand, making consumers lack sufficient choice when choosing cars.

For example, car seats are often composed of recycled PET woven fabric and leather fabric, both of which have their own advantages and disadvantages. If recycled PET fabric is used more systematically and centrally in the future, it will not be friendly for consumers who prefer to use leather seats. From this, it can be seen that the expanded use of recycled plastics in the automotive industry, although it is a trend, is not a simple replacement between materials. If supply and demand cannot meet demand, it will also pose a certain degree of constraint on the automotive industry.

At present, the main recycled materials used in the automotive industry include PCR PC (steering wheel, instrument panel, cup holder, etc.), PCR ABS (instrument panel system, pillar guard, soundproof panel, etc.), PCR PA6 (engine peripheral reinforcement components), PCR PET (needle punched carpet, seat fabric, etc.), PCR PP (inner door panel, accelerator pedal, etc.), and other PCR materials. The application scope of different PCR materials is also different. With the implementation of the National VI B Standard, the customized demand for recycled materials in the automotive market will further increase.
