Circularity builds on a set of principles, which ensures that we as a society produce and consume within planetary boundaries. That would mean we could live up to the classic definition of sustainability in

the Brundtland report

from 1987: to meet our needs in the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet theirs.

The wine industry contributes towards Polestar’s quest for full-circle sustainability, with cork being recycled and incorporated in the interior of the Polestar Precept. Waste material from the cork manufacturing process and even whole bottle stoppers can be integrated into PVC interior components.

A single thread of recycled yarn, derived from PET bottles, is used to produce a 3D knit material that we use as a seating surface in the Polestar Precept. Waste is minimised in the production process since the material is made exactly to size with no off-cuts.

An international collection network gathers discarded fishing nets, regenerating this end-of-life product into recycled nylon 6, which can be turned into Econyl woven carpets and used in the interior of the Polestar Precept.

“We don’t need to sacrifice design and luxury with these materials. If anything, they enable an even more premium, cutting-edge execution which elevates our design-led products.” Maximilian Missoni, Polestar Head of Design.
