Stroller Portfolio Made with Bio-Based Materials

News- Neste, Bugaboo, DSM Engineering Materials, and Fibrant partner to enable the first stroller portfolio made with bio-based materials.

The majority of the Bugaboo Donkey strollers’ plastic parts are made using DSM Engineering Materials’ Akulon 100% bio-based B-MB polyamide 6, which in turn is made using bio-based feedstock from both Fibrant and Neste. DSM Engineering Materials uses a mass-balancing approach with renewable waste and residue raw material to enable a ~75% PA6 carbon footprint reduction compared to conventional PA6 and up to 24% of the entire stroller.

Earlier, Bugaboo announced ambitious targets to achieve net-zero carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions by 2035. A transition toward lower fossil carbon materials is a key element of the company’s environmental and social strategy. This aligns closely with the ambitions of the other partners: DSM Engineering Materials’ ongoing ambition of a full alternative portfolio of bio-based and circular solutions, helping to defossilize the economy, Fibrant’s commitment to make the entire value chain more sustainable and Neste’s offering of Neste RE feedstock for polymers and chemicals.
