In addition to price factors, non-woven fabric suppliers are also working hard to produce products that comply with the automobile recycling regulations that will take effect in Europe in 2006. It requires 1% of automobiles to be recycled, thus opening many opportunities for recyclable non-woven fabric door.
The recycling of automobiles is more valued in Europe than in the United States, mainly due to the upcoming law in Europe. But global non-woven fabric manufacturers still assure customers that their products are recyclable. North America is also interested in recycling, but because it is not mandatory, it is not as important or strict as Europe. European coil manufacturers involved in the automotive industry are implementing new quality management systems to respond to these regulations. For example, eswegee has implemented a new quality management system to meet the quality standards of DINENISO9001 and DINENISO14001, VDA6 and EU environmental requirements. In order to standardize the benefits provided to customers, the company's global molecular organizations have implemented this system.
Although some non-woven fabric manufacturers have not fully turned to produce recyclable car products, experts believe that this will be the trend in the next few years. Recyclability is not only beneficial to automobiles, because the demand for high-loft, binder-free pure polyester nonwoven fabrics will increase, while also providing a safer production process for nonwoven fabrics. Both car manufacturers and non-woven fabric manufacturers are constantly adjusting to adapt to changes in the automotive industry, and the R & D activities of both have shown no signs of slowing down.
In the next few years, the most noticeable non-woven fabrics for automobiles may be sound insulation materials. Sandler has launched sawasorbplus and sawaform products for this purpose. The former is made of pure polyester material with low grammage and low combustion performance. Future products will be market-oriented, combining traditional R & D and customization for customers, and more complex non-woven fabrics will be used in high-tech fields. Therefore, future needs and requirements must be recognized in advance and integrated into multifunctional fabric .
