Stellantis N.V., a major player in the automotive world, has just launched its SUSTAINera Circular Economy Hub at Turin’s Mirafiori Complex. It’s not just any facility; this 73,000 sq. meter hub is a significant step in their journey towards sustainability. With an investment of €40 million, Stellantis aims to hire 550 people by 2025, adding a valuable boost to the local economy.
What’s happening at this hub? A lot. They’re not just repairing vehicles; they’re breathing new life into them. The hub’s focus is on remanufacturing engines, gearboxes, and EV batteries. Plus, they’re reconditioning vehicles and dismantling them for parts. It’s all about making the most of what they have. The goal? Reduce waste, reuse parts, and recycle what can’t be reused.
This approach aligns with their 4R strategy: Reman, Repair, Reuse, and Recycle. It’s a smart way to tackle sustainability, addressing the entire lifecycle of automotive parts and vehicles. By 2025, they plan to handle over 50,000 remanufactured parts, aiming for 150,000 by 2030. That’s a lot of parts getting a second chance.
