A total of 90 products and services had earned the Total Ecosolutions label at end-November 2016. The most recent, which is also the first resin to earn the label in the automotive sector, is a plastic used to make parts for car interiors: Lumicene® MH14CN0 polypropylene. Its low volatile organic compound (VOC) content makes it possible to produce parts that meet the most stringent auto industry standards for in-vehicle air quality without requiring a degassing step. This has cut carbon emissions 22% compared to using a conventional plastic during the material manufacturing phase.
