Project launch for the American automotive supplier DURA

The German sites of the American automotive supplier DURA AUTOMOTIVE were searching for a partner at the end of 2016, in order to develop recycling documents for the vehicle parts supplied to many European producers, as many vehicle manufacturers require such information for their recycling and sustainability strategy. The VW Group has even issued its own standard for this purpose (VW Standard 91102). On the basis of these standards and guidelines, ELOGplan has created such documents for parts varying in complexity and concluded the project at the end of 2017. The ELOGplan’s calculations are based, not only on detailed information on the recycling capability of various materials, but also on the knowledge of modern and future separation technologies and recycling rates available through these. Last but not least, ELOGplan also analyses the production process on-site in production plants (in this case, in Germany and the Czech Republic) and previous and present waste disposal of scrap parts. For DURA Automotive, there is a high certainty that they will be able to respond to future demand of manufacturers quickly.
