This project aims to modify the current production cycle by introducing a new technology capable of recovering raw material currently classified as "waste" and reusing it in the plastic molding process.
This innovation will positively impact the value chain by reshaping the supply and cost management logics in a sustainable way.
The polymer recovery system will be an integral part of the new production cycle, ensuring cost reductions through:
The initiative is part of Marelli’s Action Plan for innovative business model transformation, fully aligned with sustainability principles, the European Green Deal, and the expectations of its clients.
The development of cutting-edge technologies that meet increasing environmental awareness is at the heart of this transformation.
Supporting a circular economy is one of the company’s environmental priorities, particularly by contributing to the implementation of the European Strategy for Plastics in a Circular Economy and meeting recyclability targets by 2030.
Beneficiari
This project represents a departure from the traditional "linear" economy model ("produce-consume-discard") and embraces a new economic paradigm that aims to preserve product and service value over time and decouple development from the consumption of finite natural resources.
The initiative promotes a competitive advantage by reducing environmental, social, and financial impacts and contributes to the dissemination of a sustainable business approach throughout the automotive supply chain with a positive impact at national level.
