The relative proportion of materials varies along with the development and innovation of new types of cars. The most represented material is metal. On average, outdated cars feature about 8% of plastic and approximately 4% of rubber products. The problem is the further use of these recycled materials. The research has found new areas for the use of tires, waste foam and interior materials¡ªnoise reduction. The authors have designed and tested several variations of acoustic absorption materials. Of the tested materials, the best parameters were shown by ¡°ecofoam¡±¡ªalmost across the entire frequency range (100¨C5000 Hz) %K Recycling %K sound absorption coefficient %K sound absorption material %U https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.1177/1477760618798412
