Sustainable Seating

Learn more about our EcoSphere Seating Technologies

Sustainable seating starts here.

Magna EcoSphere is our approach to creating more sustainable seating through innovative use of recycled and bio-based materials across foam, trim foundations, face goods, and structures. The circular economy is at the center of our sustainable seating vision. We view a vehicle’s end-of-life not as waste, but as an opportunity to recover materials and transform them into the next generation of seating components. Through exclusive partnerships and innovative material solutions, Magna is bringing market-ready seating solutions to life that combine comfort, durability, and performance with greater use of recycled and bio-based content.

Melt Recyclable Trim Cover

Designed with material circularity in mind, our trim cover features a mono-material PET assembly that includes the trim foundation, face good, J-retainer, adhesive, and hook-and-loop components. The trim cover is designed for melt recycling at end of life.

Bio-Based Solutions

Foam

Our bio-based foam contains up to 20% renewable content while supporting consistent comfort, durability and material performance across applications.

Leather Alternative Face Good

Our sustainable face good contains at least 50% total sustainable content (bio and recycled material). This best in-class material provides premium seat craftsmanship and luxurious hand, feel and finish, comparable to leather.
