Circular Economy
Efficient use of valuable materials

"Our process-product-applications approach gives us an unparalleled vision and unique capabilities to tackle circularity issues whilst conceiving new multilayered components for batteries or electrolyzers. By already anticipating second life or recyclability at end of life we integrate resource efficiency and eco-design in our daily work."

Unit Manager Metal Production and Platform Coordinator Circular Economy
Circularity starts with efficient use and lean production of materials. It focuses on retaining as much value as possible to ensure long-term sustainability.
Beyond optimized production processes, fast-evolving traceability, sorting technologies, and reuse or remanufacturing solutions are gaining importance. Recycling, in this context, becomes the final step to close the loop for locally sourced, efficiently produced, and maximally reused materials.
