Directions to Green in Style: The Volvo Experience
Back to Ecksand StoriesVolvo Cars just… gets us! What we wear every day, how we get around every day and where we live are some of the biggest choices we make in our lives. Our collective values ensure that each gem, whether it's an Ecksand jewel or a fully electric vehicle like the Volvo Cars Recharge line-up, will be there with you in your most important moments.
Committed to protecting the planet, Volvo Cars is setting the highest standard of sustainability in mobility.
"We have dedicated our business to help protect the lives of people both inside and outside of our cars. We will now show the same dedication to help protect the planet."
Håkan Samuelsson, Chief Executive, Volvo Cars
Better for the Planet and People
Like Ecksand, Volvo Cars believes in upcycling and using recycled materials. In terms of manufacturing, Volvo Cars is aiming to have at least 25% of all plastics in their cars be made from recycled materials by 2025. They’ve also set the ambitious and admirable goal of producing only pure electric vehicles by 2030.
It doesn’t get much cleaner than the Volvo XC40 Recharge pure electric vehicle. With zero emissions, the electric SUV is changing the way we think about cars. Volvo Cars has a vision we can get behind, and we are so excited about all they’re doing to uphold their commitment to the planet!
Innovative Design
At Ecksand, we value quality craftsmanship and thoughtful design. A classic engagement ring doesn't have to have all the bells and whistles; we believe that the essence of design, durability, and structure are the bells and whistles.
The Volvo XC40 Recharge pleasantly surprised us with its fresh and innovative design. Inspired by contemporary Scandinavian design, the XC40 Recharge has a simple elegance we can’t get enough of. Its comfortable interior and intuitive features make you feel right at home—on the road!
Sustainability as Inspiration
Just like a piece of jewelry, a car is not only functional, it’s a personal statement. It says something about who you are and what you value. Like Ecksand’s approach to jewelry, Volvo Cars believes in creating sustainable vehicles that are safer for the planet and people.
Jewelry and cars have long had a lot in common. Think craftsmanship, precision, and design. Now, with our Volvo vehicle, we can finally add “sustainable” to that list, too!
