Building backwards, moving forwards – because in a circular economy, the end of a product’s life is where the next solution begins. 🚗♻️ At the EUROPUR / Euro-Moulders Polyurethane Foam Conference 2026 in Antwerp, our very own Michael Puffer alongside Taylor Clayton from Global Impact Coalition shared insights from GIC's Automotive Plastics Circularity project and the progress being made toward closing the loop for end-of-life automotive plastics. With the EU End-of-Life Vehicles (ELV) Regulation introducing recycled content requirements, circularity for automotive PU foam is no longer just a technical challenge – it is becoming a business imperative. The key takeaway: turning circular solutions into scalable reality requires collaboration across the entire value chain. Only together can we bridge the gap between technical feasibility and economic viability. 📈 👉 Discover more about more sustainable PU foam solutions: https://lnkd.in/e4ET_Pnw
