2026-06-03 12:00 2026-06-03 12:30 Europe/Madrid Interior design for the autonomous era: new challenges in the automotive sector

Autonomous vehicles are transforming passenger cabin design, prioritising comfort, entertainment and personalisation. However, with a high turnover of users, autonomous vehicle interiors must also be hygienic, durable and resistant to vandalism, creating new challenges for material and automotive manufacturers.

EDAG set out to design a futuristic interior for its autonomous CityBot, combining ambient lighting, adaptive displays and elegant finishing components that meet functional requirements while delivering comfort and style.

To bring its vision to life, EDAG partnered with H.B. Fuller and Covestro to apply advanced material and finishing solutions, specifically designed for autonomous vehicles that will be used by many passengers multiple times a day. Crucially, the solution needed to withstand daily wear while providing long-lasting aesthetic appeal.

The materials and features meet both performance and aesthetic demands and fit within the overall interior design concept. The surface enables excellent cleanability, provides a pleasant haptic experience and allows for translucent designs for ambient lighting.

Oxy-combustion is consolidating itself as an immediate lever to maximise energy efficiency in energy-intensive sectors such as glass, frits and cement. By replacing air with oxygen, combustion is optimised and fuel consumption and emissions are drastically reduced.

The implementation of oxy-combustion shows that real levers exist to act immediately. In line with diversification trends in the EU, technological neutrality emerges as the best ally to accelerate results. By backing realistic and scalable solutions, Spain can reconcile the protection of its industrial competitiveness with the firm fulfilment of global climate commitments.

Circular economy in precipitated silica: innovation using rice husk and end-of-life tyres

Jorge Pérez GRUPO IQE Director of R&D&I Speaker

2026-06-04 16:30 2026-06-04 17:00 Europe/Madrid Circular economy in precipitated silica: innovation using rice husk and end-of-life tyres The tyre sector is making a forward-looking commitment to sustainability. Since the early 2000s, synthetic amorphous precipitated silica (SAS) has been part of some low fuel-consumption tread formulations, known as “green tyres”. The circular economy, and the use of renewable and/or recyclable raw materials, represents a further step towards improved sustainability. In this context, the recycling of this filler from end-of-life tyres and its incorporation into the manufacture of circular silica, as well as the use of renewable silicon sources —with rice husk ash (RHA) being one of the most promising residues— are under study and/or implementation. The talk will present the steps taken by Industrias Químicas del Ebro S.A. to advance these objectives and become a manufacturer of circular and sustainable materials. Smart Chemistry

"At Repsol, we are accelerating the circular economy of plastics through concrete actions. One of the most significant is the launch of a new production line for polyolefins with mechanically recycled content at our Puertollano Industrial Complex. With an investment of €26 million, we have significantly increased our production capacity to 25,000 tonnes per year, almost double the current level. This new facility enables us to produce high- and low-density polyethylene with recycled plastic content ranging from 10% to 80%, intended for real applications such as rigid and flexible packaging for non-food use. During the talk, it will be explained why this investment is key not only from an industrial perspective but also a strategic one: it strengthens our Repsol Reciclex® range, aligns us with European packaging regulations and positions Puertollano as a benchmark for plastic recycling in the Iberian Peninsula.

The transformation of our industrial complexes is a cornerstone of Repsol’s roadmap towards net zero emissions by 2050, driving high value-added products with a lower carbon footprint."
