📢 "Our factory in Flins started its transformation three years ago: from a car manufactory facility to the first industrial ecosystem dedicated to the circular economy of mobility in Europe. Not only have we transformed the industrial tool, but we have also transformed our competencies on site. We have created the first Campus of Industrial Circular Mobility, who reskilled and upskilled 1200 people working today on 12 new activities. We have become an open ecosystem, hosting five partners, from medium industrial companies to start-ups supported by our Open Innovation Hub. And that's just the beginning! We welcome all industrial players who share our belief that the circular economy is key to our future and want to develop it further!" said Catherine Leleu, Refactory Business Development Director, during the 2024 International Automotive Recycling Congress in Antwerp (ICM AG). Taking part in the round table "From recycling to circular economy in the automotive industry", Catherine Leleu presented the Refactory, a Renault Group industrial asset that became a key industrial basis for the circular economy activities of THE FUTURE IS NEUTRAL. The Refactory embodies the Renault Group's ambition to become a leader in automotive circular economy. It also illustrates The Future Is Neutral's capacity to scale up circular economy activities and build an innovative ecosystem open to partners. 🎤 Bernard De Caevel (RDC Environment), Bart Pyl (Volvo Cars) and Gulin Kutluay Işık (Toyota Motor Corporation) also shared their vision of the circular economy in our sector. #TheFutureIsNeutral #CircularEconomy #IARC2024
