Volvo uses bio-based materials inside its EX90 all-electric SUV
In Sweden, Volvo said that inside its forthcoming Volvo EX90 all-electric SUV, customers will find a progressive material named Nordico.
In a release, Volvo said that Nordico is a progressive and technically advanced material created from textiles made from recycled material such as PET bottles, as well as bio-attributed material from responsibly-managed forests in Sweden and Finland.
“In line with our ambitions in circularity, the Volvo EX90 also contains more recycled plastics in order to use less finite, primary resources. In addition to the recycled PET bottles, the Volvo EX90 consists of almost 50 kilograms of recycled plastics and bio-based materials. That’s the highest amount of non-primary fossil-based materials in our line-up and sets a new bar for the future,” Volvo said.
“The carpets also embrace the concept of circularity, partly consisting of regenerated polyamide,” the company added.
