Key Takeaways
Dow and Gruppo Fiori advanced a process to recover PU foam from end-of-life vehicles without disassembly.
The innovation supports sustainability by diverting PU waste from landfills and enabling industrial recycling.
The collaboration stems from a 2024 MoU to build a recycling ecosystem for vehicle parts and materials.
Dow Inc.

The companies jointly analyzed dismantling process, material purity, and recyclability while piloting innovative business models through a rapid “test-and-learn” approach. The advancement, pioneered by Dow MobilityScience, is set to reach globally by addressing challenges like decarbonization, enhancing EV performance and advancing mobility.
