와이즈 토토 Chemical is expanding its development of eco-friendly plastic materials for mobility in collaboration with Hyundai Motor and Kia’ AVP Division and the Basic Materials Research Center.
On November 13, 와이즈 토토 Chemical participated in the Eco-Friendly Materials and Vehicle Exhibition held at Hyundai Motor’s Namyang R&D Center, where the company proposed the application of eco-friendly PMMA (Polymethyl Methacrylate) material for Kia’s EV3 concept car’s “Rear Lamp Lens” component.
Since 2022, 와이즈 토토 Chemical has been working with Hyundai Motor and Kia to supply various eco-friendly materials, such as eco-friendly PP/Talc (Polypropylene/Talc) and eco-friendly PC/ABS (Polycarbonate/Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene), for automotive interior and exterior components. The newly introduced eco-friendly PMMA material employs a "depolymerization" method, where plastics are chemically broken down and re-synthesized, enabling the production of recycled plastics with quality comparable to virgin materials.
Additionally, 와이즈 토토 Chemical has collaborated with Hyundai/Kia and Seoyon E-Hwa to develop a high-content eco-friendly PC/PET (Polycarbonate/Polyethylene Terephthalate) material with a recycling rate of 70%, addressing the recently strengthened EU ELV (End-of-Life Vehicle Regulation). This material achieves over 65% carbon reduction compared to new plastics, offers superior properties, and provides a wide range of color flexibility, making it a strong candidate for use in interior components of future vehicle models.
A representative from 와이즈 토토 Chemical stated, “We will continue to develop and provide diverse eco-friendly solutions applicable to future mobility by leveraging our expertise and technological capabilities in specialty materials.”
