The recently launched Polestar 3 electric SUV is not only drivable without the need for fossil fuels \u2014 featured as standard is a seat-covering material made from renewable polyvinyl chloride (PVC) and recycled polyester textile. The bio-attributed component of MicroTech is derived from tall oil.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Polestar has printed the details of the source, carbon footprint, and percentage of recycled\/renewable content on the surface of the upholstery. Optional materials include animal welfare\u2013secured Nappa leather, and animal welfare\u2013certified wool combined with 20% recycled polyester content.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bio-attributed PVC suppliers include Ineos group company\u00a0Inovyn with its Biovyn material, and Vynova with its bio-circular PVC portfolio. The materials are manufactured using ethylene derived from waste and residues of biological origin that do not compete with the food chain. Continental has already started using Biovyn in the production of its technical and decorative surface materials for its automotive customers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Polestar is also undertaking an ambitious project with multiple partners to decarbonize the complete production of its vehicles. The Polestar 0 project<\/a> aims to enter its ultimate phase in 2027 to design and construct manufacturing sites and finalize a complete supply chain for high-volume production of climate-neutral vehicles targeted for the early summer of 2030.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Polestar 0 team is currently looking to find more partners who deal with the most elementary building blocks of material development to join the\u00a0project. This includes everything from raw material extraction to bio-based plastics and chemicals, electronic components, and other base materials. Current partners include auto interior component Tier I TMG Automotive, a manufacturer of dashboards, door panels and pillars, seat inserts and arm rests, and gear shift covers upholstered with PVC and thermoplastic elastomer.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe\u2019ve initiated a reset of car making. While we don\u2019t have all the answers yet, we know what isn\u2019t working, and that a greener version of car manufacturing awaits,\u201d said Hans Pehrson, project head of Polestar 0. \u201cWe also know that it is through visionaries, transformers, and innovators that we can reach our goal \u2014 a car that begins and ends with zero.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
