Material innovation is a key step to meet our goal of achieving Net Zero across all scopes by 2040. The development of this bio-based material application has been made possible through close collaboration with Syensqo.
Rodrigo Elizondo, President of Syensqo Composite Materials added:
“We are pleased to see our project with Mercedes come to life on the W16 race car. Our bio-based resin technology represents a significant step forward in sustainable materials innovation.
“By replacing traditional petroleum-based components with those derived from renewable sources, we are not only introducing circularity in our product design but also paving the way for future innovations.
“We are very pleased to see this material applied in such a high-performing environment, showcasing its potential for broader applications.”
Toto said: “In an era where innovation drives performance and shapes industry futures, the pursuit of smarter, faster, and more efficient technologies has become a defining challenge of our time.
“This project not only reflects our commitment to sustainability but also highlights the role of Formula One as a test bed for pioneering technologies that can benefit a range of industries.
“Our sport is the world’s fastest test lab, and these innovations represent our relentless pursuit of performance and appetite to contribute beyond the grid.”
