The Group pursues its efforts to fulfil its commitment to building vehicles with materials; this is a way to control materials purchasing costs: the use of recycled polypropylene and polyamide (rather than the same virgin materials) yielded savings of €7.2 million in 2017 (€3.8 million were saved in 2016, for EU vehicle sales), and this advances the goal of reducing production cost and the sustainability of end-of-life vehicle management systems while guaranteeing an outlet in the automotive industry for recycled materials from ELVs.
