The latest development from Autoneum is N-Join1 carpet – a monomaterial system made from recycled materials that is completely latex and adhesives free.

It is produced via a unique process that joins the carpet surface together with the substrate in a single step. The substrate can be made from various materials including Autoneum’s Pure technology components made of 100% polyester, making N-Join1 easier to recycle without limiting design freedom for customers.

As with other Autoneum interior floor products, N-Join1 is designed to ensure driving comfort with optimal noise protection in the passenger cabin. It can also be used together with the Di-Light carpet, which offers an attractive appearance even in highly curved carpet areas due to its uniform surface finish.

Additionally, N-Join1’s monomaterial construction enables waste-free production and full recycling at the vehicle’s end-of-life. By eliminating the use of latex, which is water and energy-intensive, N-Join1 reduces resource usage and ensures cleaner production, supporting the automotive industry’s move towards more sustainable practices.

Overall, the new carpet system achieves a significant reduction in carbon footprint when compared to traditional carpet systems of equal weight but its greatest contribution will come from its end-of-life recycling.

N-Join1 is suitable for a wide range of vehicles, including both internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles and battery electric vehicles (BEVs). It is currently available in Europe and North America.
