Sustainability
In the interests of sustainability and reducing the carbon footprint, the New C5 Aircross introduces a lot of sustainable solutions, starting with the seat covers that are made from recycled fabrics.
Overall, the car contains 47 kg of plastic made from recycled or bio-sourced materials, 160 kg of recycled metal parts and 20% recycled tyres. It is also the first car in the world to incorporate vine shoots into its design (clear plastic in the door and console storage areas incorporates 20% vine shoots, sourced from organic vineyards in Burgundy and processed locally). Lastly, The New C5 Aircross contains no leather and the use of chrome is very limited.
