The Polestar 0 project is Polestar’s moon-shot goal of creating the first truly climate-neutral car by 2030 without offsetting. The project will work to identify and eliminate all greenhouse gas emissions from the extraction of raw materials to when the car is delivered to the customer, as well as the end-of-life handling. The partnership agreement is with HEXPOL TPE’s site in Åmål, Sweden.
HEXPOL TPE will support the project with their knowledge and capabilities in thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) and soft polymer compounds. Including research into advancing possibilities with biobased and recycled content. The project’s scope will also involve supply chain mapping to identify all root sources of emissions and investigate logistics systems with zero CO2 emissions.
