Another plus of the sustainable Benova variants? Without compromising on quality and performance, the climate-friendly designs can easily be integrated into existing production processes. No special adjustments are required to process the sustainable Benova variants.
A true milestone in sustainable surfaces
On the road to sustainable vehicle interiors, Benova Protect represents an important milestone: Due to its special composition, the material is extremely resistant and durable. By consistently avoiding critical ingredients, plasticizers and solvents, the vegan imitation leather is particularly low-emission and low-odor.
Depending on the design, Benova Protect can be equipped with a textile backing made of up to 100 percent rPET. This results in a recycled raw material content of up to 40 percent for the entire product. In addition, Benova Protect offers a weight advantage of around 20 percent compared with standard Benova.
Benova Protect considerably reduces carbon footprint
