Polestar, Swedish electric performance car company, is accelerating its work to eliminate greenhouse gas emissions by welcoming new partners to the Polestar 0 project, among them is polymer compounder HEXPOL TPE.

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 is now a partner in Polestar 0 project.

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 bio-based 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.

The goal of Polestar 0 project is to create the first truly climate-neutral car by 2030 without offsetting.

"HEXPOL TPE’s expertise in thermoplastic elastomer and soft polymer compounds will be invaluable in our mission and will play an integral role in pioneering new and innovative technologies to achieve what has so far been impossible," stated Hans Pehrson, leader of the Polestar 0 Project.

"This is a very inspiring project to be part of. It aligns with our work to enable a systems transformation in the polymer industry. To bring a true change, we need to collaborate on an unprecedented scale. We’ve already started the work and are excited to see where we go," added Thomas Nilsson, Managing Director HEXPOL TPE AB.
