The Acella® product brand stands for more than 125 years of innovation. As a high-quality imitation leather with a realistic-looking grain, Acella® continues to impress today as a first-class surface material for automotive interiors.
Its strengths? Not only the usual excellent chemical resistance, high scratch resistance and abrasion resistance, but also the ever smaller ecological footprint!
Continental has set itself the goal of creating surface solutions that are 100 percent climate-neutral. For the Acella® product brand, this means that the surface can be manufactured with up to 50 percent bio-based raw materials and a recycled content of up to 30 percent.
The result? CO2 emissions can be reduced by up to 35 percent compared to the conventional Acella® variant. This means that the imitation leather improves the eco-balance of the entire vehicle and thus paves the way for greater sustainability.
The classic Acella® can be manufactured in a variety of customized solutions. Based on the respective design, different PCF values (PCF = product carbon footprint) result, which provide information on how climate-friendly a product is.
Another plus of the sustainable Acella® variants: Without compromising on quality and performance, the climate-friendly designs can be easily integrated into existing production processes. No special adjustments are required to use the sustainable Acella® variants.
