According to the company behind this revolutionary cockpit, these technical solutions could become standard from 2030 for all cars, as brands pay more and more attention to the circular economy in their processes.

The durability of the cars of the future will be ensured not only by more efficient and cleaner engines, it will be the same with the layout of the interior spaces.

As we’ve seen with many concept cars, manufacturers are increasingly paying attention to environmental impact at all levels, focusing on recycling certain materials and reducing the use of raw materials.

Today we take a look at Callum Designs, a design and engineering consultancy who recreated the interior of a beautiful vintage Porsche 911 from scratch to give away a glimpse of the future of our car interiors.

Nothing is thrown away

The British company’s project aimed to find “green” alternatives to the materials used to make interiors of modern cars.

The choice of engineers stopped at food waste, which, if properly mixed with other elements, can guarantee the same properties as other materials the most common in terms of strength (even at the highest or lowest temperatures) and design ductility.

For example, eggshell in combination with resin (or even with walnuts) allows you to create a material with a glossy or matte surface, which is especially suitable for door panels. As another example, stale rice or lentils can be turned into a translucent material, and coffee beans can replace the traditional glossy black plastic that adorns dashboards.

Carrot in the car cabin

Purple carrots can add color to the seats and various interior elements, while recycled tree leaves create a dark surface that can be used instead of wood inserts on the center console and instrument panel.

Finally, the fabric with plastic derived from the oceans and for the seats, material obtained from recycled PET bottles was used. This latest redesign technology has already been applied to more traditional cars, such as the latest Renault Zoé.

According to the company behind this revolutionary cockpit, These technical solutions may become standard from 2030 for all cars, with brands paying more and more attention to the circular economy in their processes. And it’s affecting manufacturers at all levels, even the most luxurious have gotten into it, like Bentley recently.
