Environmentally-friendly product design
Respect for the environment and sustainable development are now among the primary concerns of consumers and automobile manufacturers worldwide. Faurecia is fully aware of this challenge and, as a result, takes great care to account for environmental issues in the design of its products and in the expertise it offers to manufacturers. This proactive approach can be seen mainly in the development of increasing lightweight vehicles. It is also expressed through the use of recycled plastic (polypropylene) and natural materials (wood fibers, flax, hemp) as well as the development of biomaterials (bioplastics).
Specializing in six product lines representing almost 16% of total vehicle weight, Faurecia is well-positioned in the global automotive industry through its ability to offer environmentally-friendly solutions that will equip the cars of tomorrow.
