In order to further deepen the sustainable and green development of the brand, Jixing intends to apply the natural fiber linen material to the interior panel. It is reported that the new material will reduce the use of plastic in the car by 80%. Polaristar cooperates with bcomp company of Switzerland to replace a large number of plastic panels in the car with natural material flax and replace seats with recycled plastic to further develop towards sustainability. According to polestar, flax plants can not only be used as food materials, but also as clothing materials. Flax is chosen because it is 50% lighter and stronger than traditional plastics. Polestar said it could reduce the amount of plastic used in the car by 80%. In addition to flax materials, polestar 2 interior will also plan to use a series of other materials in the car. For example, the seat surface is made of 3D braided materials made of plastic bottles by bcomp company; the interior carpet is made of waste fishing nets; and the waste produced in the cork manufacturing process is used to produce PVC interior components of vehicles. "We will not lose some more luxurious designs because of the use of these materials," said Maximilian Missoni, the design director of "polestar 2" polestar, in a statement He pointed out that this is a very big challenge, because of the adoption of new technology, polestar will gain new aesthetic value. Prior to that, polestar 2, a subsidiary of polestar, has been put into trial production in China and will officially start mass production and delivery in the first half of this year. The official price of the first version is 418000 yuan.
