Jaguar Land Rover Helps Develop Recycled Seat Foam

The Hog Ring - Jaguar Land Rover Helps Develop Recycled Seat Foam

Industry leaders Jaguar Land Rover (JLR), Dow and Adient worked together to develop a new type of seat foam using closed-loop recycled content, a first in the automotive industry.

The companies describe the new foam as a significant technical breakthrough in the closed-loop recycling of polyurethane seat foam. Closed-loop recycling is a process that involves collecting, reprocessing and reusing materials to create new products without losing the original material’s properties. The goal of closed loop recycling is to reduce the need for raw materials, minimize environmental impact and reduce waste sent to landfills.

That’s exactly what JLR, Dow and Adient did, sourcing old foam from used vehicles and reintegrating it into the production of new seats.

“Polyurethane foams are known to be challenging when it comes to recycling and are designed for durability, meaning they end up in landfill and can remain in the environment for several generations. By creating a closed-loop supply chain, JLR will be able to reduce emissions, eliminate waste and enable a secure supply of low carbon seat foam for its vehicles,” JLR said in a press release announcing the breakthrough.

In a statement, Adient Vice President Mick Flanagan said the collaboration has pushed the whole auto industry forward.

“At Adient, we are proud to lead the change in integrating closed-loop recycled materials into our seating solutions. Our collaboration with JLR and Dow not only showcases our commitment to sustainability but also demonstrates how innovative partnerships can drive significant advancements in the automotive industry,” he said. “By leveraging recycled polyurethane, we are setting new benchmarks for environmental responsibility while ensuring our products deliver the luxury and comfort our customers expect.”

While this is the first known breakthrough in closed-loop recycling of polyurethane seat foam, automotive supplier Magna did make headlines earlier this year for developing the industry’s first 100% melt recyclable foam, padding and upholstery for car seats.

Both accomplishments are worthy of celebration.
