Materials: Noise reduction goes green

摘要

The sound-deadening head-liner in the 2010 Buick LaCrosse uses padding made from discarded cardboard packaging containers. It is the first General Motors application of Federal-Mogul's QuietShield GRN. "This product represents an example of GM's green efforts by way of working with our suppliers to develop materials that contain GM manufacturing by-products that meet or exceed product performance specifications and reduce our environmental footprint," said John Bradburn, GM Staff Environmental Engineer.
