Objectives

Project objectives

Ensure sustainable use of raw materials in the automotive sector, reducing material supply risks.

Adopt the circular economy paradigm in the automotive sector in practice, acting as a demonstrator for the manufacturing sector.

Offer better vehicle-related economic, environmental and social performance to all end-users.

Create new supply chains around End of Life Vehicles (ELVs), focusing on the circular exploitation of the raw materials embedded in cars.

Results

Concrete actions

  • Development of an artificial intelligence-based scenario assessment tool to support the development of circular supply chains in the automotive sector.
  • Representation of a series of success stories in three key automotive value chains, such as dismantlers/crushers, recyclers and manufacturers, demonstrating the benefits of adopting circularity principles in the automotive sector.
  • Integrating Key Enabling Technologies (KETs) for the efficient design of car electronics and subsequent dismantling and material recovery.
