Škoda Elroq's New Leap In Eco-Friendly Automotive Design With Recytitan And Technofil

The all-new Škoda Elroq introduces advanced sustainable interior materials, including Recytitan and Technofil. Embodying Škoda’s Modern Solid design language, the Elroq’s interior is characterised by simplicity, spaciousness, and clean lines.

The Czech car manufacturer is taking the next step towards realising its sustainability goals. The seats and upholstery fabrics are made from recycled plastic bottles and, for the first time, recycled clothing. These are carefully reprocessed into high-quality new yarns and fabrics for the Elroq.

Škoda is continuously advancing its use of innovative and sustainable materials across all products. To further increase the sustainability of the Elroq’s Design Selection Loft, the brand uses Recytitan for the door panels, seat covers, dashboard, armrest, and knee pads. It is composed of 78% recycled PET, sourced from items such as plastic water bottles.

The new Škoda Elroq boasts a spacious interior defined by clean, simple lines that embody the brand’s Modern Solid design language. Customers will have the choice of four Design Selections: Studio, Loft, Lodge, and Suite, each incorporating a greater proportion of sustainable materials.

The Loft Design Selection uses Recytitan—a material comprising 78% recycled PET and, for the first time in Škoda models, recycled clothing. The dark grey-blue fabric is complemented by dark artificial leather details and yellow reflective stitching.

Technofil Material in Lodge Design

In the Lodge Design Selection, Škoda uses Technofil material. This material also contains ECONYL® yarns made from regenerated nylon obtained for example from old fishing nets and fabric scraps. This Selection is distinguished by black fabric paired with light grey artificial leather, highlighted by orange contrast stitching and matching orange seat belts.

The careful attention to detail during the spinning and warping of yarns ensures a perfect balance of comfort, durability, and sustainability. The remaining material is derived from new PET (16%) and for the first time also mechanically recycled fibres recovered from post-consumer clothing (6%).

Škoda's Commitment to Sustainability

This innovative fabric reuses nylon waste such as fishing nets, fabric scraps, and carpets destined for landfill. Known for its excellent friction and abrasion resistance, ECONYL® nylon is also 100% regenerable. It allows yarns to be recycled repeatedly without losing quality.
