Bridge of Weir & Polestar Lead in Luxury, Sustainability & Safety
Bridge of Weir, a renowned leather manufacturer, is making strides in sustainability and transparency. Meanwhile, electric vehicle (EV) brand Polestar is setting new benchmarks in safety and eco-friendliness.
Bridge of Weir, known for its high-quality leathers, maintains a policy of openness. It welcomes partners and interested parties to observe its production process. This commitment to transparency is reflected in its use of local materials and energy from its own power plant, sourced from a nearby lake. The company also recycles hides that would otherwise end up in landfill, turning them into luxury leather. Despite not publishing specific CO2 emissions data, Bridge of Weir's director, James Muirhead, emphasizes durability and luxury in their leather production.
Polestar, the EV brand, is challenging industry norms. Its Polestar 3 achieved an impressive 93% in child occupancy protection tests, the highest score in the last nine years. Moreover, it offers customers a choice of sustainable interior materials, including traceable, chrome-free Nappa leather and bio-attributed MicroTech vinyl. This focus on sustainability is echoed by designers like Julie Conrad, who prioritize social and environmental responsibility.
Bridge of Weir's transparency and sustainable production methods are setting a new standard in the leather industry. Meanwhile, Polestar's commitment to safety and eco-friendly materials is driving innovation in the automotive sector. Both companies are demonstrating that luxury and responsibility can go hand in hand.
