🏆Exciting News! BMW Group and Bcomp are honoured to be awarded the prestigious 2024 Altair Enlighten Award in the Sustainable Process category with BMW M for the BMW M Visionary Materials Seat, featuring #ampliTex materials. The BMW M Visionary Materials Seat reimagines manufacturing and materials to create a lighter, circular product for large scale vehicle production with recyclability in mind. The seatback features a bio-based high-performance natural fibre layup with ampliTex™-PP composite, combining the structural and aesthetic properties of the material in one manufacturing step, allowing production to be more efficient and dematerialised. “Through our long-standing collaboration with BMW M GmbH, the BMW M Visionary Materials Seat project clearly shows that the decisive milestone towards holistic sustainability is the combination of bio-based materials and recyclables. With our ampliTex™ high-performance natural fibre material, we deliver a sustainable lightweight solution that combines the highest design standards and recyclability on a large-scale automotive level,” said Johann Wacht, Key Account Manager Automotive & Motorsports at Bcomp. The award highlights the sustainable production-orientation of the seat design including its lifecycle focus as one of the global automotive sector’s most innovative new sustainable development, the best of which are showcased by Altair’s exclusive Enlighten Awards. Congratulations to the people and partners involved in making this achievement possible! BMW Group, Designworks, A BMW Group Company, Automotive Management Consulting GmbH, Gradel Lightweight Sàrl and LASSO Ingenieurgesellschaft mbH.

📰 Christian Fischer’s Latest Insights on Decarbonisation and Regulation in the Automotive Industry on Carbon Pulse. In an interview (https://lnkd.in/dM3vXsVP) with Carbon Pulse’s Bryony Collins, Christian Fischer speaks about the challenges and opportunities facing the auto sector in existing and pending regulatory frameworks. “Only enforcing a certain level of recycled material contents won’t solve the problem on its own,” said Christian Fischer, CEO and Co-founder at Bcomp. “Eventually we need to implement emission-based targets in terms of embodied energy, only achievable by a combination of recycled and plant-based material solutions.” Read more about Christian's thoughts as shared in 'INTERVIEW: Green Materials Gain Traction with Automakers Ahead of EU’s End-of-Life Vehicle Regulation' here: https://lnkd.in/dwSBPjPC Read the full interview on Carbon Pulse here: https://lnkd.in/dM3vXsVP #SustainableLightweighting #NaturalFibres #Bcomp #Circularity

⛵ Future of sailing at the Foiling Week™ - Students led sustainable innovation at the 2024 Foiling SuMoth Challenge, in Malcesine, Italy! The Foiling SuMoth Challenge is a staged competition among passionate student teams for the best design, construction and on-water racing of a sustainable foiling moth. We were proud to offer valuable guidance and support to the 11 participating teams who pushed the boundaries of sustainable foiling and gained first hands-on experience with Bcomp’s #ampliTex and #powerRibs reinforcements. “We are very excited by the skills and passion that this next generation of marine engineers and architects are bringing to the challenge of reducing the environmental impacts of the marine sector,” said Paolo Dassi, Marine and Industry Manager at Bcomp. We're inspired by the talent and dedication of all the teams and can't wait to see them push boundaries even further. Congratulations to all participants including the overall winner of the 2024 Foiling SuMoth Challenge, Politecnico di Milano Sailing Team and the Canadian team Rafal ETS who won the design stage.

Bcomp makes its NASCAR debut 💥 NASCAR today revealed a first version of its all-new #ABB battery electric vehicle (BEV) prototype, featuring Bcomp’s flax-based composites in its bodywork, ahead of the Chicago Street Race. “This collaboration is Bcomp’s first major US motorsport project, and we are excited to demonstrate together with the NASCAR IMPACT team how racing can pave the way for sustainable innovations, enabling benefits for wider society further down the road,” said Johann Wacht, Key Account Manager Automotive & Motorsports at Bcomp. Bcomp’s innovative materials - #ampliTex and #powerRibs - offer a sustainable alternative to traditional carbon fibre, reducing CO₂ emissions by up to 85% at similar stiffness, and improve safety thanks to their breaking behaviour without sharp shattering - a critical factor for bumper-to-bumper racing.
