Volvo Group's Polestar electric car 2 (Polestar) recently released a car interior design made of pure plants

Lower cost advantage, 50% weight reduction

The antenna fibers are made with powerRibs and ampliTex technologies from natural fiber specialist Bcomp, and the main raw material is flax fiber

This new natural composite reinforcement ensures an extremely light shell element design with high stiffness and damping characteristics, ensuring a more efficient structural design in terms of shock absorption, without reducing the design feel due to the use of new materials and luxury

Compared to conventional interior panels, Bcomp composites can reduce overall weight by 50 percent and reduce plastic content by 80 percent

3D weaving technology promotes recycling of recycled PET\nylon

In addition, Polestar 2 uses 3D-knit technology to create the surface of the seat of the future to reduce waste and promote the use of recycled materials

The yarn used by Polestar to weave the interior surface is recycled yarn, which is made of 100% recycled PET bottles

It is reported that Polestar will also cooperate with the wine industry and fishing industry to recycle wine corks and fishing nets to make car interiors

Polestar said that recycled nylon (Nylon 6) extracted from discarded fishing nets can be used to weave car carpets and can be collected through an international collection network to recycle the material indefinitely, and it also accepts customer and consumer returns for end-of-life products
