Polestar SUVs Champion Sustainability with Eco-Friendly Interiors
Polestar, the electric vehicle manufacturer, is championing sustainability in its interiors with a choice of eco-friendly materials for its SUVs. The company partners with Bridge of Weir, a renowned leather producer that uses local resources and recycling to create luxurious, durable leathers.
Bridge of Weir, based in Scotland, harnesses local materials and energy from its own power station for production. It also uses water from a nearby lake, ensuring minimal environmental impact. The company's leather production is a valuable recycling operation, transforming hides that would otherwise go to waste into high-quality leather.
Polestar, in line with its sustainability mission, offers customers of the Polestar 3 and Polestar 4 SUVs a choice of eco-friendly materials. These include traceable, chrome-free Nappa leather from Bridge of Weir and bio-attributed MicroTech vinyl. James Muirhead, director of automotive sales at Bridge of Weir, emphasizes the durability and luxury of their leathers, which meet exacting standards.
Fiona Hamilton, great-niece of the company's founder and also leading automotive sales, maintains an open policy, welcoming partners and consumers to observe their production process. Life cycle analyses can help consumers make informed choices about materials, including leather, enabling them to select more sustainable options for their vehicles.
Polestar's commitment to sustainability is evident in its choice of materials for the Polestar 3 and Polestar 4 SUVs. By partnering with Bridge of Weir, which uses local resources and recycling in its leather production, Polestar offers customers a luxurious, eco-friendly choice for their vehicle interiors.
