Contribute To The Cause Of Environmental Protection! Volvo Will Give Up Using Animal Leather

Volvo has officially announced that it will completely abandon the use of animal leather in 2030 and switch to bio-based and recyclable materials to meet the needs of customers who are increasingly concerned about the environment and sustainability. In fact, MINI officials have announced that they will no longer use leather materials for environmental protection, and it seems that car companies still have the same point of view in this regard.

Volvo XC40 is a product that does not use animal leather, and Volvo will continue to launch new pure electric vehicles in the next few years. Volvo's future goal is to achieve a full electric transformation, and all products will no longer use animal leather. According to uncle che, Volvo has required all direct suppliers to use 100% renewable energy by 2025, with the aim of saving energy and reducing emissions.

In addition, Volvo has another reason to give up the use of animal leather, which is concerned about the negative impact of the cattle industry on the environment. Uncle che learned that animal husbandry accounts for 14% of global greenhouse gas emissions from human activities, and most of the greenhouse gas emissions come from cattle farming.

It is worth mentioning that in order to meet the needs of leather enthusiasts, Volvo will continue to purchase wool blended materials. Volvo Design Director Robin Page said: "this is a good and modern way to capture leather properties. For those who like leather and know that leather has a negative impact on the environment, this is a more appropriate material."
