The EU's CBAM carbon tariff policy has forced the upgrading of the industrial chain, with the penetration rate of environmentally friendly materials increasing by 14% in three years (from 8% in 2020 to 22% in 2023). Biobased materials, such as 3M's biodegradable car paint, have reduced VOC emissions by 82%, and Zhongce Rubber's dandelion rubber production line has been put into operation. The circular economy model has also been promoted. DoubleStar Group's "Industry 4.0" factory has achieved a 40% tire retreading rate, and battery second-life utilization technology has reduced energy storage costs by 35%.
The implementation of the "Limits of Hazardous Substances in Automotive Interior Materials" in 2025 will tighten the limits of styrene and formaldehyde by 40% compared to the current standards. These policy changes are driving enterprises to adopt more sustainable materials, meeting consumers' expectations for green consumption and becoming a new competitive track for enterprises. Choosing eco-friendly automotive products is not only a compliance move but also a wise choice that demonstrates consumers' environmental responsibility.
