<\/figure>Hyundai – Forests Without Names<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\nHyundai<\/a><\/span> is supporting the mapping and restoration of underwater ecosystems that absorb carbon and sustain marine life through the Forests Without Names<\/a><\/span> initiative.<\/p>\n\n\n\nMany of these habitats were previously unrecognised, despite their environmental importance. By mapping them, Hyundai can now better protect and restore them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In Korea alone, restored sea forests are expected to absorb around 1,300 tonnes of CO\u2082 each year. This shows the important role they play in tackling climate change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hyundai also helps to remove marine waste through Operation Ghost Farms<\/a><\/span> and its partnership with Healthy Seas<\/a><\/span>, recycling ghost nets into materials for cars.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n\nSuzuki – Clean Ocean Project<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\nSuzuki<\/a><\/span> has developed technology to capture microplastics from the water through its Clean Ocean Project, targeting pollution that is often invisible but widespread.<\/p>\n\n\n\nBeyond cars, the brand has developed a Micro-Plastic Collecting Device for marine engines that filters particles using engine cooling water without affecting performance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Testing of the device has consistently found microplastics in every sample collected during trials, showing just how widespread this pollution can be in our oceans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Suzuki also supports hands-on clean-up efforts through its Clean Up the World Campaign<\/a><\/span>, removing tonnes of waste from UK shorelines that are difficult to reach.<\/p>\n<\/div>![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.stoneacre.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/suzuki-clean-ocean.png\")

<\/figure>\nVolvo – For Life Fund<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\nThrough the For Life Fund, Volvo<\/a><\/span> is supporting a range of marine restoration projects globally, building on its long-standing partnership with The Ocean Race<\/a><\/span>.<\/p>\n\n\n\nThese initiatives reflect its broader commitment to environmental action, focusing on improving biodiversity as well as reducing carbon in key coastal ecosystems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Projects include mangrove restoration in the Indian Sundarbans, helping to protect coastlines while also supporting the local communities that rely on them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Volvo is also restoring eelgrass meadows in Sweden, helping to improve water quality and support the long-term recovery of marine ecosystems and biodiversity.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
\nPolestar – Sea Forest Partnership<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\nPolestar<\/a><\/span> is also supporting innovation beyond automotive production, working with partners in other industries to help scale new environmental solutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\nOne example is its collaboration with Sea Forest in Tasmania<\/a><\/span>, supporting seaweed farming initiatives that can help reduce methane emissions in agriculture.<\/p>\n\n\n\nPolestar is also reducing emissions across its supply chain through its sustainability strategy, with a strong focus on long-term impact, including changes to global shipping.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The company uses renewable fuels such as FAME for inbound logistics and biofuel blends for outbound deliveries. This significantly lowers transport-related emissions.<\/p>\n<\/div>![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.stoneacre.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/polestar-sea-forest.png\")

<\/figure>\nOMODA & JAECOO – Seagrass Restoration<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\nOMODA<\/a><\/span> and JAECOO<\/a><\/span> are supporting marine conservation through long-term environmental initiatives. Their focus is on protecting fragile ocean habitats.<\/p>\n\n\n\nOne key project involves restoring seagrass meadows in the Mediterranean with IUCN Med<\/a><\/span>. These ecosystems are essential for storing carbon and supporting marine life.<\/p>\n\n\n\nSeagrass also helps local fishing industries, as healthier ecosystems can lead to more thriving marine life, benefiting both nature and coastal communities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
They are also working to reduce damage from human activity, helping to protect these underwater environments and keep them healthy for the long term.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
\nTurning Ocean Waste into Interiors<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\nSeveral car brands, including CUPRA<\/a><\/span> and FIAT<\/a><\/span>, are turning ocean waste into premium interior materials, helping to tackle marine pollution while rethinking car production.<\/p>\n\n\n\nThrough initiatives like SEAQUAL<\/a><\/span>, marine litter is collected and transformed into high-quality yarn. This material is then used in seats, trims, and other cabin surfaces.<\/p>\n\n\n\nIn models like the CUPRA Born<\/a><\/span>, recycled fibres are used in sporty interior finishes. The Fiat 500e<\/a><\/span> also features upholstery partly made from recycled and marine plastics.<\/p>\n\n\n\nThis demonstrates the circular economy. Waste is recovered, repurposed, and reused, reducing reliance on new raw materials while maintaining comfort and design quality.<\/p>\n<\/div>![\"SEAQUAL\"](\"https:\/\/www.stoneacre.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/seaqual.png\")

<\/figure>\nInnovation Above & Below the Surface<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\nSome car brands are supporting ocean conservation through advanced technology. Peugeot<\/a><\/span> and Geely<\/a><\/span> are taking very different, but equally important, approaches.<\/p>\n\n\n\nPeugeot works with the Under The Pole<\/a><\/span> programme to support underwater exploration and research. This helps scientists study marine ecosystems in greater detail.<\/p>\n\n\n\nThe partnership also includes developing new research tools and supporting future expeditions. Peugeot contributes to electric vehicles for low-emission logistics on land.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Geely is focusing on satellite technology through its Blue Guardian Project. This allows teams to track marine debris from space, improving clean-up coordination.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
Your Choice Matters<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\nSustainable driving now goes beyond emissions alone, building on the benefits of hybrid<\/a><\/span> and electric cars<\/a><\/span>.<\/p>\n\n\n\nChoosing the right vehicle can support ocean conservation efforts. From lower-emission options to recycled materials, your choice can make a real impact.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
At Stoneacre Motor Group, we are proud to represent these forward-thinking brands. Together, they are helping to reshape what driving can mean for the planet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It\u2019s time to look at cars differently. A cleaner, greener switch isn\u2019t just possible, it\u2019s already happening, and your next car could be part of it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
