At CES 2026 in Las Vegas, portable energy brand BLUETTI unveiled a more sustainable evolution of its flagship power station - the Elite 100 V2 - developed in collaboration with materials manufacturer Covestro.
The new edition features a housing made from Bayblend® RE polycarbonate, a partially bio-based material containing 25 percent renewable feedstock attributed through mass balance accounting.
According to Covestro, this innovation can cut the device housing’s CO2 footprint by over 20 percent compared to traditional petroleum-based plastics.
The launch marks BLUETTI’s latest step toward integrating sustainability without compromising performance or durability in the fast-growing portable power segment.
High-Performance Promise With Circular Design
Portable power solutions have transformed from emergency gear into essential tools for outdoor enthusiasts, RV travellers, and off-grid users.
With more than 4,000 charging cycles - equivalent to roughly ten years of use - the Elite 100 V2’s LiFePO₄ battery demands a housing material capable of withstanding heat, UV radiation, ageing, and mechanical stress.
Covestro’s Bayblend® polycarbonate claims to address these challenges with its impact resistance and compliance with UL 94 V-0 flame retardant standards. The Bayblend® RE grade used in BLUETTI’s latest model is certified within Covestro’s CQ (Circular Intelligence) portfolio, denoting products made with at least 25 percent alternative or renewable raw materials, the company said.
"This collaboration with BLUETTI demonstrates how innovative materials can accelerate the transition to more sustainable solutions for the rapidly growing portable power market," said Lily Wang, Global President of Engineering Plastics at Covestro.
Allen Huang, Vice President of BLUETTI, said, "By using Covestro’s bio-circular materials, we enhance product safety and durability while actively reducing our carbon footprint. This partnership allows us to create reliable, stylish, and sustainable energy solutions for our users."
Design Flexibility and Market Launch
Beyond environmental benefits, Covestro’s materials offer greater aesthetic freedom, supporting refined surface textures and diverse colour options through advanced CMF (Color, Material, and Finish) design capabilities. This allows BLUETTI to tailor its products to modern consumer preferences without compromising performance or sustainability.
The Elite 100 V2 will be officially showcased on January 7. Following its launch, the model will be available to global markets.
