focuses on fighting plastic pollution in the ocean. Its ‘Yarn’<br />
product is made from 100 per cent recycled materials, with<br />

Eco-friendly production<br />
Pretty much every major car manufacturer has<br />
announced plans to electrify its range and set targets for<br />
carbon-neutral production at its factories. This is being<br />
achieved in various ways, such as powering factories with<br />
renewable energy.<br />
Toyota builds more cars than anyone else globally, so<br />
improvements can have a major impact at its factories.<br />
Measures include using water-based paints on cars,<br />
removing pollutants before they are released through<br />
smokestacks, cleaning wastewater on-site before it is<br />
released, and growing forests inside its factory sites.<br />
Last year, the Japanese company announced plans to<br />
build a “prototype city of the future” at the base of Mount<br />
Fuji. It will be fully connected and powered by hydrogen<br />
fuel cells.<br />
Bentley of the future<br />
Bentley is a luxury car firm, and it has made it its mission<br />
to make sure the cars it builds in the future are more<br />
sustainable. In 2019 it revealed the EXP 100 GT concept<br />
car, an autonomous electric vehicle.<br />
Everything about its construction had sustainability in<br />
mind. For example, some of the furnishings used a dyeing<br />
process that strives to achieve zero discharge of chemicals<br />
into the environment, while others come from a material<br />
called Vegea, which uses the by-products of winemaking.<br />
It also uses wood from naturally felled trees.
