Several parts on every car can be rotated out and customized to fit your needs and wants. Different trim packages can let you change anything from the motor to the type and size of the wheels. Sport packages change the handling and acceleration, while tech packages can add safety programs and new selections for the infotainment system. No matter the trim level you select, deciding on a paint color will always be an important choice, and in order to protect that color Mazda has a new biomaterial.

 

Any car out on the open road and exposed to the elements will suffer damage to the paint over time. In harsher environments especially, scratches and fading will slowly appear, leading to a damaged and dull appearance. Thanks to joint research with Mitsubishi Chemical, Mazda patented a bio-engineering plastic from a compound that exists in plant matter. This new plastic will be a much better option to the current mix of metals and other materials that currently make up car bodies.

Every facet of this new material is ideal for a car body; it is strong enough to meet safety standards, and is able to resist scratching and damage from the elements. The plastic itself can be finished in a wide selection of colors, which means no painting is necessary. This reduces paint emissions and will save you money on having to polish and touch up areas that have been damaged.

 

Several vehicles in Japan are already making great use of this #bioplastic.
