What Groupe Renault is doing to develop the circular economy:
The Refactory in Flins, Europe's first circular economy factory dedicated to mobility
Created by Renault Group in 2020, this industrial ecosystem is open to start-ups and partnerships. Its aim is to encourage initiatives, develop innovation in the service of the circular economy, and contribute to the Renault Group's ambition to achieve carbon neutrality at its industrial sites in Europe by 2040. A sustainable and responsible conversion, both environmentally and socially, that draws on the many assets of the site and its employees.
The Future Is NEUTRAL the first company operating across the entire automotive circular economy value chain
In a context of energy transition marked by the scarcity of resources and inflation in the price of raw materials, The Future Is NEUTRAL offers closed-loop recycling solutions, from the automobile to the automobile.
Its mission is to help the industry move towards resource neutrality by increasing the proportion of recycled automotive materials in the production of new vehicles.

The life cycle of the battery
When the battery is no longer usable, instead of discarding it and recycling it, a second life is given to it to store renewable energies to power buildings for example.
