Bugaboo, DSM Engineering Materials, Fibrant and Neste partner to enable industry-first stroller portfolio made with bio-based materials
Today, Bugaboo, DSM Engineering Materials, Fibrant and Neste announce that their cross-value chain partnership has successfully enabled the launch of an entire Bugaboo stroller portfolio made with bio-based materials. Specifically, the majority of the strollers’ plastic parts are made using DSM Engineering Materials’ Akulon® 100% bio-based B-MB polyamide 6 (PA6), which in turn is made using bio-based feedstock from both Fibrant and Neste. DSM Engineering Materials uses a mass-balancing approach with renewable waste and residue raw material to enable a ~75% PA6 carbon footprint reduction compared to conventional PA6 and up to 24% of the entire stroller. Experience the Bugaboo donkey stroller on display at DSM Engineering Materials at Hall 6, Booth B11.

DOMO Chemicals, a leader in polyamide-based engineered material solutions and services, is set to present its entire range of high-performing TECHNYL® solutions to a global audience for the first time at the upcoming K 2022 show in Düsseldorf, Germany.
Today, DSM Engineering Materials announces its successful partnership with Renault to create an industry-first lightweight solution for hybrid vehicle fuel tanks. By using Akulon® Fuel Lock, DSM's high-performance low-carbon-footprint PA6 material, the fuel tanks can be produced with a blow molding monolayer construction that significantly reduces weight and cost without compromising safety or risking additional emissions. The fuel tank is designed and manufactured by DSM Engineering Material project partners RM Technologies and MTS France. This innovative step forward underlines DSM Engineering Materials’ commitment to enabling e-mobility that is safer, lighter, and more sustainable.
