INTRODUCTION: CIRCULARITY IN THE <\/strong>AUTOMOTIVE INDUSTRY<\/strong><\/h2>

Rising cost for raw material, insecure supply chains and ever-increasing pressure on sustainability goals: The need and the upside for sustainability in the value chains are increasing drastically. Recalibrating the value chains and transforming towards a circular economy becomes a must for those who want to last.<\/p>

Four pillars define the circular economy in the automotive industry: Refurbishment, Remanufacturing, Reuse and Recycling. These 4Rs differ according to the product level which they address (vehicle, module, or parts) and the respective activities: All allowing for a better utilization of resources. To make the different elements work two aspects are critical: A functioning ecosystem and suitable products.<\/p>

While refurbishment is a powerful lever on the vehicle-level and recycling is the way to go when it comes to raw material on a part-level, remanufacturing and reuse are in scope when considering the module or component-level. While reuse is often applied to second-life applications and parts where a certain wear is acceptable, remanufacturing is a powerful approach when modules lose certain performance characteristics over time but can be reconditioned to return to their original purpose.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
