The seat shells were presented at the Greentech Festival in Berlin. Next, the Deutsche Bahn Test Lab \u201cMaterials of the Future\u201d will test whether the seat shells meet all the technical requirements (including fire protection and impact resistance).
Deutsche Bahn discovered carbonauten GmbH through its start-up program DB Mindbox. The long-term goal of the partnership is to carbonize waste wood from business partner DB Fahrzeuginstandhaltung (vehicle maintenance) in carbonauten’s minus CO2 factories in order to produce materials for DB from the technical biocarbon. A fully circular process.
The Portuguese supplier Monteme\u00e3o carried out several tests with the Tech BioC Compound\u00a0from carbonauten GmbH. After armrests were successfully injection molded in the first trial\u00a0the seat shells were then fabricated.
