OBJECTIVES

TREASURE has four main objectives

Guaranteeing a sustainable use of raw materials in the automotive sector, by reducing material supply risks

Adopting in practice the circular economy paradigm in the automotive sector, by acting as demonstrators for the manufacturing sector

Offering better vehicle-related economic, environmental and social performances to all the end users

Creating new supply chains around End-of-Life Vehicles (ELVs), by focusing on a circular exploitation of raw materials embedded into cars

In this way, TREASURE will concretely support companies in the automotive sector, by demonstrating in practice the benefits obtainable from the adoption of the circular economy paradigm both from a business/supply chain and from a technological/sustainability point of view, through the adoption of Industry 4.0 technologies in ELV management processes.

TREASURE is willing to reach three main results

Developing an AI-based scenario assessment tool

supporting the development of circular supply chains in the automotive sector

Representing a set of success stories

in three key value chains of the automotive industry, as dismantlers/shredders, recyclers and manufacturers, by demonstrating the benefits coming from the adoption of CE principles in the automotive sector

Integrating Key Enabling Technologies (KETs)

for the efficient design of car electronics and subsequent disassembly and materials recovery.
