2. ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY MATERIALS WILL BE USED IN SALONS MORE FREQUENTLY
Recently, more and more attention has been paid to the toxicity of materials in car interiors. This is not surprising, because even studies ten years ago confirmed that substances found in upholstery can negatively affect the person inhaling their fumes – some chemicals even increase the likelihood of cancer. Automakers do not need the reputation of poisoners, so they are increasingly striving to make interiors safer in terms of toxicity and are experimenting with environmentally friendly materials. These, for example, are widely used in the upholstery of the recently presented Hyundai IONIQ 5 electric car. Plastic obtained from recycling PET bottles is used – it does not contain heavy metals. Fabrics of plant origin, bio-paint with plant extracts and other safe raw materials are used.
