INTRODUCING CIRCULAR ECONOMY PROTOCOLS IN A TIER 1 AUTOMOTIVE COMPANY
AURIA IS A TIER 1 AUTOMOTIVE COMPONENTS COMPANY (direct supplier to car manufacturing companies). It manufactures floors (front and rear) and side panels for vehicles from several layers of different plastics, which are diffi cult to separate from each other and therefore to recycle. However, in the manufacturing process of both, large offcuts are discarded and due to the lack of adequate recycling processes end up in landfi ll. Under standard production conditions, discarded offcuts can amount to 3,000 tonnes per year. In ProTIER, AURIA relied on the GAIKER Technology Centre and the circular economy specialist company ZICLA.
