Continental to use BIOVYN for automotive surface materials

In Germany, Continental is to use BIOVYN, bio-attributed PVC, from INOVYN in the production of its technical and decorative surface materials for its automotive customers. The agreement will help to reduce its carbon footprint and meet customer demand for sustainable bio-based products. 

BIOVYN™ is a new generation of PVC grades certified by the Roundtable on Sustainable Biomaterials (RSB). It is a ‘drop-in’ product that is made from a 100% renewable raw material, avoiding fossil-based feedstocks. This innovative product enables more than 70% greenhouse gas savings compared to the production of PVC in the conventional way.
