リサイクル樹脂を使用した商用車用内装部品の開発

摘要

We used recycled plastics in the development of parts for the interiors of commercial vehicles. The part developed is the Center Console Box, which is the accessory case beside the driver's seat. These parts are made of recycled plastics of which 52% of the material is derived from the bumpers of end of life vehicles. This recycled plastic improves impact strength, and also can be mixed with additive coloring. These parts are recognized as environmental plastic products, and have been approved for use of the Eco Mark label.%資源有効利用の観点から，使用済み自動車や修理部品の交換時に回収した樹脂材料の用途開発は重要な課題である．今回，市場より回収した使用済みバンパを52%混合したリサイクル材を用いて商用車の内装部品「センターコンソールボックス」を開発し，大型，中型及び小型商用車に採用した．
