Environmental protection is still on everyone’s lips and in more and more industries one finds efforts that should lead to a better environmental compatibility of products.
A special step in this area goes to the car manufacturer Volvo.
It is well known that Volvo is planning electric automobiles and is trying to gain a foothold in the electric car segment. Another special step Volvo now but in the production of automobiles.

A lot of plastic in cars

In our cars is a very high proportion of plastic, mainly indoors. Buttons, dashboard, gear stick … etc., this list we could now continue long.
The fact that plastic is not conducive to the environment is familiar to all of us and has often been a topic in our articles. In order to enable a more sustainable use of plastic, Volvo now plans to increasingly replace the plastic in their own cars with recycled plastic and thus produce more environmentally friendly cars.

To ensure this, many plastic parts from old marine plastic scrap or from returnable bottles should be manufactured in the future.

As we find, every step towards a greener future is a right / important step.
Whether the integration of recycled plastic is now the wisdom final conclusion, we dare to doubt and whether this is more a marketing stunt than real environmental protection is uncertain.
However, we hope that this small step also motivates other manufacturers to do more for a cleaner environment and to optimize their own production processes.
