All products
FORVIA Faurecia
MATERI'ACT
NAFILean
Range of 100% recyclable biocomposite materials incorporating hemp fibers & recycled plastics into polypropylene. It reduces weight and decreases CO₂ emissions by up to 87%. The latest addition, NAFILean Vision, is developed for visible parts and offers advanced decorative effects.
FORVIA Faurecia
MATERI'ACT
IniCycled
Sustainable compound for visible and non-visible automotive parts, with recycled content from 20% to 80%. It can meet the most demanding OEMs’ requirements in terms of performance, safety but also finishing and colors.
FORVIA Faurecia
NFPP
NFPP products (high natural fiber reinforced composites) shaped by compression molding with up to 50% natural fibers. They halved the weight and CO₂ emissions compared to similar all-plastic products and can have different appearances, including visible natural fibers for aesthetic surfaces.
FORVIA Faurecia
MATERI'ACT
Piñatex
The Piñatex Advanced coating by MATERI'ACT & Ananas Anam is made from pineapple leaf fibers. It is 40% more natural & lighter than leather and, reduces CO₂ emissions by 98%. It is a versatile, eco-conscious alternative to mass animal leather production and chemical tanning.
FORVIA Faurecia
Ecorium
Embrace sustainability with trimming material Ecorium in your vehicle, showcasing FORVIA's commitment to renewable materials. Ecorium, including recycled PET and hemp, slashes CO₂ emissions by 90% compared to traditional leather. This innovative material features more than 70% natural (with bio-attributed components) and recycled content, setting new standards for eco-friendly automotive design.

Recycled and recyclable automotive textile and seat covers Bloomera™
Unveiling Bloomera™ – FORVIA, Tesca, and Indorama Ventures' innovative automotive textile and seat covers. This circular innovation transforms seat cover production offcuts into recycled seat covers. Ultimately, this will lead to the creation of seat covers made from textiles taken from other vehicles at the end of their lives. Drive sustainability with style.
FORVIA Faurecia
100% recyclable cushioning Auraloop®
Meet Auraloop® : FORVIA and Indorama Ventures' sustainable breakthrough in mobility. Crafted from Polyester-based fibers, this 100% recyclable cushioning is set to revolutionize car seats. Auraloop® targets a twofold cut in carbon footprint compared to traditional polyurethane foam pads, while boosting thermal comfort and durability. It's not just a seat pad; it's an eco-friendly innovation for tomorrow's cars.
FORVIA Faurecia
Green steel seat structure
In 2023, FORVIA introduced "green steel" in automotive seating, unveiling the world's first fossil-free steel seat structure components, a result of their pioneering collaboration with steel manufacturer SSAB. This innovation, reducing CO₂ by almost 90% compared to a traditional steel seat structure using fossil fuels, positions FORVIA as a leader in sustainable transport. The breakthrough prototype, emerging from their 2021 partnership, showcases a commitment to a net-zero carbon future.
