Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) and Audi are launching a pilot project for the chemical recycling of automotive plastics which aims to feed mixed plastic fractions back into a resource-conserving circular system.<\/h2>\n
Due to the high safety, heat resistance, and quality requirements that automotive plastics have to meet, only petroleum-based materials have been suitable for manufacturing plastic components in cars but in most cases, such materials cannot be recycled.<\/p>\n
