Bridge of Weir & Polestar Revolutionize Sustainable Luxury in EVs

Bridge of Weir, a Scottish leather manufacturer, is challenging misconceptions about leather's sustainability. The company, part of the Scottish Leather Group, produces high-quality leather as a by-product of the meat industry, using locally sourced materials and conscious energy practices.

Bridge of Weir considers itself in the business of upcycling, repurposing animal hides that would otherwise go to waste. The company uses water from a nearby loch and energy from a thermal plant for processing, reflecting its commitment to sustainability.

Polestar, an electric vehicle manufacturer, has partnered with Bridge of Weir to offer customers more sustainable choices. Polestar 3 customers can choose from traceable, chrome-free leather, bio-attributed vinyl, or animal welfare-certified wool for their upholstery. This collaboration aligns with consumers' growing demand for transparency and accountability in 'green' claims.

Life Cycle Assessments (LCAs) help Bridge of Weir debunk myths about leather's environmental impact. By embracing an open-door policy, the company welcomes partners and interested parties to witness its sustainable production process. Together with Polestar, Bridge of Weir is setting a new standard for sustainable luxury in the automotive industry.
