In order to prevent global warming, reduce CO2 emissions and the use of fossil resources, Mitsubishi Motors Corporation is focusing on a variety of plant-based materials and promoting the development of new environmentally-friendly materials.“Green Plastic” is the generic term for all technologies using plant-based materials, and the automaker has just announced new developments.
“Mitsubishi Motors Corporation (MMC), working with EIDAIKAKO Co., Ltd., MRC Pylen Co., Ltd. and Toyota Tsusho Corporation, has developed a new floor mat made using plant-based bio-polyethylene (bio-PE) fibre to add to its lineup of proprietary plant-based "Green Plastic" products. The company plans to start production of the new floor mats in the summer of 2012,” the official statement reads.
The fibers are made up of a plant-based resin made using sugarcane molasses, this is then wrapped up in regular petroleum-based polypropylene (PP) sheath which allows it to meet the high levels of performance demanded of car floor mats, including abrasion and heat resistance.
