Our latest publication on one of our scientific moonshots—the fully recyclable car—has been published in the July issue of ACS Central Science.

The automotive industry has made strides in reducing fossil fuel dependency through fuel-efficient engines, lightweight designs, and biofuels. However, the journey towards a truly sustainable vehicle is just beginning. Our research highlights the need for the automotive and chemical industries to embrace closed-loop systems, renewable resources, and innovative materials for efficient recycling.

Key to this transformation is the integration of predictive models and generative AI, which can accelerate chemical research and the discovery of sustainable materials. By aligning efforts across sectors, we aim to advance the transition to a circular economy, paving the way for a future where cars are not just vehicles, but part of a sustainable ecosystem.
