Verification of rubber material in automotive applications

Purpose and goal: ** Denna text är maskinöversatt ** Reselo is a company that develops new sustainable biomaterials to replace conventional (oil-based) materials, to reduce dependence on fossil fuels. The first material

to be commercialized is called ReseloRubber and is a polymer, made from 100% birch bark, and suitable for rubber applications. There is an opportunity to drastically reduce the carbon footprint when replacing fossil-based rubber materials with ReseloRubber. The project aims to explore the potential for such implementation in the automotive industry and how to realize the same.

Expected results and effects:

The Project aims to investigate the potential of ReseloRubber in regards of technical, commercial, sustainable, and supply chain aspects for one (1) selected application. Approach and implementation:

The technical part of the Project focuses on verifying and adapting ReseloRubber and/or the Rubber Formulation to meet the technical targets for a defined application. The selection of a suitable application is the first goal to achieve and has to be agreed on by the Project Group.

Furthermore, the Project is a tool to facilitate the collaboration and grow the relationship, to create the foundation of continued collaborations for future mitigation of carbon dioxide emissions in the automotive industry.
