Xpreshn

Lightweight and Environmentally Friendly - 100 per cent quality, up to zero per cent carbon emissions

Within the Xpreshn product line, Continental offers the first completely CO2-neutral interior surface. It consists of a combination of polyolefin recyclates and bio-based raw materials originating from plant waste. The recyclates used can come from film production waste („post-industrial“), but also from households and vehicles („post-consumer“).

Due to these parameters, latest Xpreshn variants have a significantly better CO2 balance compared to the standard film. In addition, the film is flexible in processing and free of any halogens and plasticizers. An absolute sustainability bonus on top? The films are thermoplastic monomaterials and can be fully recycled using industrialized processes.

With the thermoplastic malleable surface material Xpreshn, the name says it all. Expressive is the motto, because the decorative material is available not only in a wide variety of colors, but also in a whole range of grain designs. Based on polyolefins, the material is characterized above all by its low weight and excellent aging resistance. The extremely durable surface is available in two versions - compact foil and foam laminate.

Designed for Recycling
What was considered technically almost impossible to achieve until a few years ago is now becoming a key requirement: in future, vehicle interior surfaces that shape comfort, aesthetics and the brand experience must not only be functional, but also recyclable.
