It was welcomed by the UN’s head of environment, Erik Solheim, who said that businesses recycling and reusing waste is “essential” to curb ocean pollution. Sweden-based auto maker Volvo Cars aims to use at least 25% recycled plastics in all of its new vehicles by 2025 and wants its suppliers and competitors to make more auto components from recycled products. To demonstrate that the target can be reached, the Geely-owned car maker showed a version of its XC60 T8 plug-in hybrid SUV featuring a tunnel console, seats and carpets that were made from recycled materials. The company said it would also work with other automakers on developing their own electric cars using recycled materials as well.
