| Summary: This application uses a non-glass-fiber reinforcement, which enables complete disposal (incineration) of the headliner by the OEM vehicle recycler. Incinerating fiberglass headliners causes huge disposal issues, especially in Japan and Europe. The basalt-reinforced PP composite meets the OEM’s disposal requirements without incinerator contamination issues. | |||
