Swancor EzCiclo recyclable resin is selected by the Spanish automotive brand Liux
Swancor and Spanish car startup Liux work together to create recyclable body parts using flax fibre and recyclable resin EzCiclo, which can both simultaneously be recycled through a simple degradation process. The recycled materials can be used to produce composite materials again, allowing raw materials to be recycled and providing car owners with an environmentally friendly mobility option.
According to Bloomberg estimates, global electric vehicle sales will grow significantly in the next few years. It will reach 30 million units in 2030 and 60 million units in 2040 (accounting for 55% of the total new car market). This growth trend is mainly due to policy support in various countries, advancements in battery technology, and increasing consumer demand for eco-friendly vehicles.
Spain’s Liux, which presents itself as a sustainable mobility startup disrupting the design and manufacture of electric vehicles with bio-based bodies, modularity, and 3D printing, has announced the industrialisation project of its latest model, the Liux Geko, a lightweight urban vehicle.
