A method for producing an aesthetic component comprising a first polymeric material;
- and a second polymeric material, wherein:
- the first polymeric material defines at least part of an external surface of said component with said first polymeric material covering said second polymeric material, and wherein said second polymeric material comprises a recycled polymeric material;
- the method comprising:
- injecting from at least one injection point said first polymeric material into a cavity of a mould for a first time so that said first polymeric material reaches internal surfaces of said mould and at least partially solidifies to form an external solidified layer;
- and
- injecting from said at least one injection point, after said first time, said second polymeric material into said mould for a second time so that said second polymeric material fills the core of said cavity and pushes the first polymeric material not yet solidified.
