Electric carinteriors packed with recycled materials instead of animal hides are all the craze – and that doesn’t just include new EVs, as this beautiful Aston Martin DB6 from the mid-1960s shows.
Although only a concept for now, the upcycled materials featured here can all be fitted to the cars of Lunaz customers, and the DB6 is among a handful of classic British cars for which Lunaz offers its restoration and electrification services.

Other leather components, like the seat bolsters, parcel shelf and transmission tunnel, are made from cowhide sourced from the meat industry and with total emissions claimed to be up to 50% below the industry standard, while also being entirely biodegradable.
The Aston’s door cards use a fabric made from a blend of renewable plant-based materials, the company says, including corn and wood pulp-based fibres. “The unique matte surface features a subtle organic texture with a semi-lustrous base,” Lunaz said.

As we’re starting to see from mainstream car manufacturers, Lunaz produces carpets made from nylon derived from discarded and recycled fishing nets, with a backing made from recycled plastic bottles.

Lunaz founder David Lorenz said: “Upcycling is a holistic, whole-vehicle process in which sustainability encompasses not only the clean-air powertrain but also the materials and finishes used in the interior. We’ve seen significant interest from our clients in maximising our use of sustainable alternatives to traditional leathers, veneers and fabrics…these are very exciting times for us, our clients and our industry.”
