Jaguar strengthens ‘no waste’ commitment with surf board range

Polyurethane is used in the manufacture of life-size clay models which are modelled at the beginning of the car design process The polymer forms the skeleton of the models, which is normally destroyed once a car is launched, while the clay is recycled and re-used on site.
Jaguar has committed to ensuring no waste is sent to landfill by 2020 and says all plastic will be recovered and sliced into blocks ready for a second life as surfboards or paddleboards.
The surfboard, which was tested by Northern Irish professional surfer Lucy Campbell, had its debuts in London at Jaguar Land Rover’s consumer event, Tech Fest, from 8 – 10 September.
