This study investigated the automotive applicability of parts produced from a newly developed foamed recycled polyethylene terephthalate (rPET). The injection molded part contained a combination of both endothermic and exothermic foaming agents and phosphorus (Exolit OP 1240) (OP)- and melamine polyphosphate (MPP)-based flame retardant agents. The parts were produced using a breathing mold technique to achieve a suitable level of foaming. The aim was to produce lighter parts made of recycled material that also complied with the fire safety automotive industry standards. Computer tomographic scans revealed the foam structure formed successfully, which contributed to an improved strength-to-weight ratio. The scans further showcased that larger cells tended to form in the thicker areas within the part, while smaller cells generally formed in the thinner areas. Finite element simulations showed that the large cell formation in the thicker parts had no effect on the part’s load bearing property, and there were not stress concentration points after the boundary conditions were defined. The sample produced from the material was determined to be a possible replacement of small-sized automotive components.
