Compound meets recycling requirements at nice price

摘要

Vehicle end-of-life recycling rules demand that use of recyclate in parts must increase.The challenge is to do so without compromising mechanical performance.European regulations requiring 80% reuse and recycling by weight of end-of-life vehicles are set to kick in starting January 2006.The rules that require vehicle producers to include recycled material in new cars have put the squeeze on auto parts vendors to come up with parts that offer comparable mechanical specifications as virgin but with recyclate that often falls short of the high standards needed.
