Phoenix Highly Recyclable Car

At Rematec Amsterdam, we are proud to present the Phoenix highly recyclable car developed by students at TU/ecomotive Eindhoven.

What makes Phoenix unique is that its materials can be closed-loop recycled up to 75%, where materials can be recovered and reused in their original state for new products of the same kind. Currently, this percentage is at 21% in the automotive industry, but the European Commission is on a path in significantly increasing this number.

The secret lies primarily in the mono-material structures, utilizing a minimal variety of materials, and smart attachment methods where materials are not permanently bonded together. As a result, the quality of the materials does not degrade quickly after reuse, and recycling efficiency is improved.
