Polestar Offers Sustainable Upholstery Options for Polestar 3
Polestar, the electric vehicle manufacturer, is offering customers of its Polestar 3 model a choice of sustainable upholstery materials. Among these options are traceable, chrome-free Nappa leather and bio-attributed MicroTech vinyl, sourced from Bridge of Weir, a company renowned for its sustainable leather production.
Bridge of Weir, based in Scotland, produces leather using local materials and water from a nearby lake. They generate their own energy, reducing their carbon footprint. James Muirhead, director of automotive sales, stresses the durability and luxury of their products. Life cycle assessments help dispel myths about leather, highlighting its sustainability when produced responsibly.
Polestar, committed to transparency, offers customers insight into the origin of materials used in their vehicles. Bridge of Weir, producers of some of the world's finest leathers, welcomes partners to observe their production process from start to finish. Leather, a by-product of the meat industry, is recycled by Bridge of Weir, adding value and reducing waste. Consumers are encouraged to choose materials based on durability, robustness, and sustainability.
Polestar 3 customers can now select from sustainable upholstery options, including leather from Bridge of Weir. This choice reflects Polestar's commitment to transparency and sustainability. Bridge of Weir's production process, open to observation, ensures high-quality, eco-friendly leather.
