• Promotion of a circular economy in the automotive industry: The repair and reuse of existing parts and components enable maximization of a product’s lifecycle, which reduces resources consumption, that would be used to produce new parts, and waste, since the pieces would be otherwise discarded after their first use. These are all strategies related to the principles of a circular economy such as prioritizing renewable inputs, maximizing product use, and recovering by-products and waste.
• Reduction of automotive waste and use of resources: as a marketplace, the promoter’s company sells reconditioned second-hand parts and components that will be reused and installed in a new vehicle. They estimate the sale of 2000 units, which represent 8.5 tons of equipment that will be reused every year and would otherwise be discarded. At the same time, the promoter performs the recovery of second-hand vehicle control units, which are technological components, reconditioning and reprograming them for resale and later use in another vehicle.
