Syensqo wins Green Tech Award for its bio-based resin

Brussels, November 20, 2025 - Syensqo, a global leader in advanced materials, has been honoured with the Green Tech Award at the RACE TECH World Motorsport Symposium for its bio-based MTM^® 49-3 epoxy prepreg. Developed with 30% bio-sourced monomers, MTM^® 49-3 e30 maintains the same mechanical strength, glass-transition temperature (190 °C) and processability as its conventional counterpart, while offering up to 40% weight savings compared with metals.

“This award highlights that true innovation lies in delivering sustainability without compromising on performance,” said Gaurav Unni, Global Sales Leader - Automotive Composites at Syensqo. “The new MTM^® 49-3 product variant incorporates bio-based content yet performs to the exacting standards of the motorsport industry, demonstrating that advanced materials can help the racing world move toward lower fossil use while keeping its competitive edge.”

The material has been proven on-track through a collaboration with the Mercedes-AMG PETRONAS Formula One Team, where it was successfully used in the rear brake duct wheel shields on the W16 race car at the 2025 Azerbaijan Grand Prix.

Winning the Green Tech Award reinforces Syensqo’s commitment to enabling a circular-economy approach in composites and supporting OEMs and Tier 1 suppliers in meeting their carbon-neutrality goals.

The awards ceremony was held at the prestigious Royal Automobile Club in London on Monday, 17^th November.
