How to give a new status to waste and speed up processing at the European level?

Today, nearly 95% of cars are recycled.
85% in reality, if we subtract the 10% linked to their ‘recovery’ (energy recovered by burning parts). Of the 85% of materials recycled or reused, many undergo ‘downcycling’ (recycling for lower quality uses).

The emergence of electric vehicles "mechanically" reduces the share of the usage phase in the carbon footprint over the full life cycle, as the vehicle no longer consumes fossil fuel. Vehicle recycling thus plays a more significant role in the carbon footprint and provides new perspectives for transforming recycling from "local craftmanship” to a true European industry.

This transformation will require cross-border flows, which represents a real paradigm shift for the automotive industry.

Alongside Movin'On and Michelin, Saint-Gobain, Solvay and Thales are also involved in this project, presented here by Patrice Kefalas, Innovation Director at Michelin and Pierre-Edouard Sorel, Movin'On Development Director.
