During the first part of 2021, STELLANTIS conducted a Circular Economy campaign, called “Plant a Tree”, in partnership with OCEANIUM, a Senegalese NGO protecting West Africa’s marine and coastal ecosystems, and with the collaboration of MyTree, a company specialized in the rehabilitation of ecosystems. This campaign aimed to inform our customers of the Circular Economy alternative solutions available when it comes to spare parts to maintain and repair their vehicle.
The “Plant a tree” campaign was launched in January in 13 European countries.
Each time customers agreed to repair their vehicle with the spare parts issued from Circular Economy and to be part of the program, Stellantis planted a tree.
Thanks to this, STELLANTIS has planted 10 000 trees near Tobor in SENEGAL, a region where biodiversity and vegetation are endangered. Indeed, infrastructure development and cyclical droughts have led to the reduction of 25% of Senegal’s mangroves between 1980 and 2010.
While acting for the Planet, STELLANTIS highlighted to its customers its comprehensive offer of Circular Economy Remanufactured, Repaired or Reused parts, that can save up to 80% of raw material and to decrease energy consumption up to 50% :
Remanufactured parts
These are genuine parts removed from a customers vehicle during a repair, which are then remanufactured to a quality level as good as new. Following remanufacturing they go back to the market at competitive prices.
Multi-brand Repaired parts
Components such as radios, navigation systems, screens, ECUs and automatic gearboxes are dismantled by the Group’s repair shops, repaired at an approved repair center and fitted back in the customers’ vehicles.
Multi-brand reused parts
These are second hand original parts in good condition that are recovered from end-of-life vehicles. Reused parts consist mainly of external parts (such as bodywork, bumpers, mirrors and headlights), and mechanical parts (engines and gearboxes). They are available at the workshops or directly on line via B-Parts market place, a subsidiary of STELLANTIS.
This initiative demonstrates further the commitment of STELLANTIS to reduce material and energy waste and make a better future.
