Reusing, recycling \u2013 and in fact re-anything \u2013 are all part of every car maker\u2019s push to be seen to be carbon net zero by some time towards the end of the 2030s. Timescales differ, as does what carbon net zero actually means.<\/p>\n<p>This week Stellantis opened its first Circular Economy Hub, recycling its famous Mirafiori factory in Turin for the purpose, at a cost of 40 million Euros (\u00a334.7m).<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/media.autoexpress.co.uk\/image\/private\/s--5xfodZ-R--\/f_auto,t_related-embed-mobile@1\/v1685966792\/autoexpress\/2023\/06\/Stellantis%20recycling.jpg\">Stellantis sets up joint venture to recycle old car parts<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>This isn\u2019t just being done for the greater good, it\u2019s part of the company\u2019s drive for its circular-economy business to bring in two billion Euros\u2019 worth of revenue by 2030. It\u2019s so important to the Stellantis business that CEO Carlos Tavares has put one of his high-flyers, former Stellantis UK managing director Alison Jones, in charge.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is our first regional hub,\u201d Jones told me. \u201cWe will have one per region, but supported by local loops or standalone facilities. So thinking about the UK \u2013 which I do \u2013 that would be a local loop or standalone facility. We can take a single element of the four Rs and put that into one country.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Those four Rs are Reman (for remanufacturing), Repair, Reuse and Recycle. The broad aim is for every vehicle or part to last as long as possible, with cars and parts refurbished (they missed that re!) to as good as new condition \u2013 which will help save costs and the planet. Any parts beyond saving will be properly disposed of, too.<\/p>\n<p>Stellantis is not alone \u2013 Renault\u2019s Refactory (there we go again) in Flins, France, is doing a very similar thing.<\/p>\n<p>What it means for you is that your used car could well have been reconditioned (another one!) by the car maker, with upgrades to everything from bodywork to batteries to keep it fresh and to enable the car maker to sell it on for more profit. Revived (sorry, couldn\u2019t resist) parts could make it more cost-effective to keep older cars on the roads, too. These plans are laudable, as long as they don\u2019t mean more expensive cars and car parts for you and me.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Would you buy a recycled car?
