Abstract

Plastics are used throughout the interior, exterior, and under the hood of automotive vehicles. The use of plastics plays an important role in meeting the industry's needs. These include weight and cost reduction as well as end-of-life recycling issues. Within the interior, the material enables manufacturers to decorate with a wide range of colors, finishes, and effects. The use of plastic within the automotive industry is increasing and with 48% of the plastic content of vehicles used within the interior, it is important to consider the significance of this application. This chapter reviews the current usage of plastic within interior trim components and assesses the future trends that are likely to occur within the industry.
