Volkswagen ID. Models Are About To Get Much More Sustainable

VW agrees, and this is why most of the recycled materials in the car only make up a portion of whatever they create. The company says that the reused materials must always offer the same characteristics as conventional ones in terms of look and feel.

“Through the widespread use of recycled materials and the animal-leather-free interior in our ID. models, we are further improving the eco-balance of our vehicles – with high demands on haptical and long-term quality,” says Silke Bagschik, Head of Product Line E-Mobility. “The feedback from our customers confirms that we will continue to expand these sustainable approaches in the future.”

The goal in the end is a wholly optimized approach starting during basic research through development and into production that focuses on cutting emissions wherever possible. We know the company’s factories are already extremely environmentally focused, so now it looks like it’s working upstream.
