Jaguar Land Rover Innovative Material Recycling

Jaguar Land Rover has announced a partnership with ECONYL ^® , a leading brand in the recycled nylon industry , to explore material recovery from marine plastic and landfill waste .
Recycled materials will come from recycled industrial materials, clothing fabric scraps, and discarded fishing nets that threaten marine ecology - commonly known as "ghost fishing gear", etc.
Through the reprocessing of recycled materials, regenerated nylon fiber ECONYL ^® can be used It is used in the production of vehicle floor mats and some interior materials .
In the future, this achievement will also be used in some Jaguar Land Rover models .

Floor mats and interior materials made from ECONYL ^{® fibers to be used in future Jaguar Land Rover models}

It is reported that ECONYL ^® regenerated nylon fiber will be developed and produced by the Italian company Aquafil, a global leader in the synthetic fiber industry with this patent
.
The resulting ECONYL ^® nylon polymer, which has the exact same composition as conventional petroleum-based nylon, can be used in the manufacture of carpets and textiles
.
^{Eco-friendly materials created with ECONYL ®} can reduce the global warming impact of the production process by 90% compared to traditional petroleum-based nylon production processes
.
At the same time, in the production process, every 10,000 tons of raw materials produced can not only save 70,000 barrels of crude oil, but also reduce carbon dioxide emissions by 65,100 tons
.
In-car mats made of ECONYL ^® regenerated nylon fibers are more environmentally friendly, and at the same time bring more wear-resistant and high-quality products to customers.
In the entire recycling and utilization process of environmentally friendly materials, it further promotes Jaguar Land Rover to move towards a circular economy and promote its Achievement of net zero carbon targets
.
This innovative process has been applied to the products of many high-end fashion, sports and luxury watch brands around the world
.

ECONYL ^® Regenerated Nylon Fiber

ECONYL ^® regenerated nylon fibers enter into chemical plants through analysis and treatment of waste materials, and then are processed and decomposed into nylon raw materials, and finally the manufacture of ECONYL ^® regenerated nylon fibers is completed
.
During this process, by-products from discarded materials, such as metal materials, copper sulfate attached to discarded fishing nets and other materials, will also be sent to other industries for recycling to achieve more comprehensive sustainable development

Jaguar Land Rover has always been committed to bringing users more environmentally friendly choices, thinking about how to create a luxurious atmosphere while touching the humanistic resonance in the deep spirit of users
.
Previously, Jaguar Land Rover, together with Kvadrat, a Danish textile design brand, has innovated and developed high-end wool blended materials, which have further improved its durability and soft touch, creating a luxurious and environmentally friendly space.
Energy saving and emission reduction
.
In many models of Jaguar Land Rover, users can choose high-quality Danish Kvadrat luxury fabrics
.
The fabric consists of durable wool and suede fabric made from reprocessed plastic bottles, which consumes only 53 recycled plastic bottles per car seat
.

Kvadrat's strong technical fabric material is also equipped on Land Rover Defender models.
This material contains 30% wool blend.
Its rich color and excellent tactile properties bring greater design freedom, enabling a more futuristic and technological sense Sensitive technology to meet consumers' escalating and diversified aesthetic needs; after twisting three kinds of yarns in the color of self-defense, the toughness can reach five times that of common leather materials, which is in line with the firm and tough posture of the defender.
Complement each other
.

In addition, the Land Rover brand has also innovatively launched fabrics made of eucalyptus fibers on the Land Rover Range Rover Evoque, which further meets customers' individual needs and environmental responsibility through sustainable and diversified options
.

Thierry Bolloré, Global Chief Executive Officer of Jaguar Land Rover, said: “As a people-focused company, Jaguar Land Rover is going full steam ahead, and its stunning Zhimei models will not only feature a brand-inspired design, but will also combine environmentally friendly safety materials and forward-looking technologies.
Use it to raise new usage standards for users
.
”

For luxury car brands, sustainable luxury is the key to business differentiation and a driver for future growth
.
Adrian Iles, Senior Engineer, Interior Systems, Jaguar Land Rover, said: “JLR designers and engineers have always been committed to using the latest technologies to develop and apply the next generation of sustainable materials that will be used in future JLR models
.
Jaguar Land Rover Always emphasize the cornerstone of sustainable development, which is reflected in minimizing waste, increasing the recycling of materials and reducing carbon emissions
.
Therefore, pioneering materials research is one of the important ways for Jaguar Land Rover to achieve this goal.
An integral part of presenting unparalleled design to consumers
.
”

In its new global strategy "Reinventing the Future" released in February 2021, Jaguar Land Rover announced that it will be committed to a more flexible business operating model under the trend of sustainable development
.
As a production base accounting for 77% of Jaguar Land Rover's global production, the operations of Jaguar Land Rover's factories in the UK strictly comply with the internationally recognized carbon neutrality standard PAS 2060, and have been certified by the Carbon Trust for two consecutive years
.

With a unique understanding of the luxury needs of contemporary customers, the fusion of innovative technology and unparalleled design, Jaguar Land Rover will not only create a unique luxury experience for users, but also protect a safer and cleaner environment, and formulate environmental and social benefits in the field of luxury vehicles.
and a new benchmark for community impact development
