Metal Substitute Technology

-Challenge-  CO2 emissions from metal production processes

As moving a vehicle that uses a lot of heavy metals requires a lot of gasoline and increases CO2 emissions, weight reduction has become a challenge. In addition, the production process of metals also emits a large amount of CO2, which calls for urgent countermeasures.
Furthermore, the forming of metal parts has limitations, making it difficult to provide designs that meet the needs of the market.

-Solution-  Reduction of CO2 emissions through the use of plastic

SEKISUI’s injection-molded products also support highly precise design in terms of strength, bending, and fluidity through computer-aided engineering (CAE) technology and fiber orientation analysis, and contribute to improved fuel efficiency through weight reduction. The production process of the plastic products can also be expected to reduce CO2 emissions compared to that of metal products.
