Volvo Cars to Use Recycled Steel in Next EV - CleanTechnica
Volvo Cars is advancing its sustainability efforts by committing to use high-quality, recycled, and near zero-emissions steel supplied by SSAB starting in 2025.

The recycled steel will initially be incorporated into the upcoming fully electric Volvo EX60 SUV and future SPA3 architecture models. Volvo emphasizes that this recycled steel meets the same stringent safety and durability standards as traditional steel, aligning with its reputation for safety and environmental responsibility. The move is part of Volvo’s broader strategy to reduce its carbon footprint, as steel production accounts for about 25% of material-related emissions in its cars.
