PRAGUE, Jan 27 — Car manufacturers are making efforts to include more recycled materials in the construction of their new models. The latest example is Skoda, which is introducing seat covers made from wool and recycled disposable bottles in its Enyaq iV.

For these seat covers, the Czech carmaker combined wool with recycled polyester from disposable polyethylene terephthalate bottles. To create the fabric, bottles are crushed, melted and then turned into granules. These granules are then used to make a yarn, which is the basis for this particularly strong fabric.
