Continental’s Automotive group sector has developed a bioplastic key fob, marking a significant step towards sustainable mobility. The key fob’s outer casing is made from PA11, a 100% bio-based polyamide derived from castor oil. This material is recyclable, sustainably sourced, and free from fossil-based inputs. The company’s “Design for Environment” initiative aims to reduce the environmental impact of its products. Jean-Francois Tarabbia, Head of Architecture and Network Solutions, emphasizes Continental’s commitment to providing sustainable products and solutions. This development is part of Continental’s efforts to shift towards a circular economy by 2050, working with partners to close resource loops, reduce waste, and scale up the use of circular and bio-sourced materials.
