The Skoda Elroq is Trimmed in Recycled Clothes

August 29, 2024 By Nadeem Muaddi

The Hog Ring - The Skoda Elroq is Trimmed in Recycled Clothes

The all-new Skoda Elroq features an interior cabin trimmed in sustainable materials like Recytitan and Technofil, which are partially made from used clothes.

The Elroq’s seats and door panels are upholstered in fabrics made from recycled plastic bottles and, for the first time, recycled post-consumer clothing, the Czech automaker says in a press release. The consumer goods are reprocessed into high-quality yarns, which are spun into sustainable materials.

Among those materials is Recytitan, which comprises 78% recycled PET and recycled post-consumer clothing, and Technofil, which contains Econyl yarns made from regenerated nylon obtained from old fishing nets and fabric scraps. Interestingly, Econyl nylon is 100% regenerable, allowing yarns to be recycled repeatedly without ever losing quality.

Skoda says the materials underscore its commitment to environmental protection and reducing the CO2 footprint of its vehicles. What’s more, they’ll continue to advance innovative and sustainable materials across all products.

Of course, they’re not the first automaker to turn scrap materials into textiles. But it’s interesting to see the different types of discarded products automakers use to create them.

We’re all for more sustainable materials. We’re just curious what these will feel like and how long they’ll last.
