Delivering a higher strength-to-weight ratio than steel, ekoa\u00ae<\/sup> is developed from renewable flax fibers to replace wood, laminates, and plastics with a carbon-neutral, ultra-sustainable material. ekoa\u00ae<\/sup> is already being used to replace rainforest trees and carbon composites in musical instruments and wood paneling in homes and offices, and is now in advanced automotive testing, as Lingrove extends ekoa\u00ae<\/sup> into car interiors. ekoa\u00ae <\/sup>is also available in a format with hidden transparency enabling backlighting effects and\/or options for capacitive touch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe demand for reinventing mobility with sustainable ekoa\u00ae<\/sup> <\/strong>interiors is incredibly strong,\u201d says Joe Luttwak<\/a>, CEO of Lingrove.<\/strong> \u201cAfter years of R&D and investment, our high-performance, beautiful, ekoa\u00ae<\/sup> is ready to meet our customers\u2019 commitments to decarbonizing their vehicles – while transitioning their interiors to feel like living room spaces.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Increasingly, customers are demanding healthy and sustainable interiors, without sacrificing luxury and beauty – at all price points. Automobile OEMs look to innovators like Lingrove to deliver the right products to their design and CMF teams. ekoa\u00ae<\/sup> on the Palisade doors reflects Hyundai Motor Group and HATCI\u2019s commitment to sustainability and its confidence in the market demand for applying naturetech in even the toughest design challenges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
