Sustainability case study

Using recycled materials results in a 66% lower energy demand and 54% lower carbon footprint during production.

Each Range Rover Evoque has replaced virgin and man-made materials with 16kg of recycled plastic and 21kg of natural material. Trim is also made with 100% recycled polyester.

The recycled material is primarily sourced from post-consumer waste, so that each car uses the equivalent of 40 two-litre bottles achieving a 77% lower carbon footprint for these components.
