Collaborate with stakeholders Among purchases, two specific categories were identified as being of particular interest because they represent a significant share of emissions: materials, components and accessories, 1 transportation. 2 Materials, components and accessories Convinced for many years of the benefits of developing a more circular economy and preserving resources, Plastic Omnium has been a pioneer in the use of recycled plastics. Today, the process is continuing and accelerating with various partners, suppliers and customers. In 2021, Plastic Omnium presented a pilot bumper composed of 50% recycled materials (including visible and painted parts) and meeting the safety and cosmetic requirements of automotive specifications. This disruptive and innovative project has been well received by customers keen to integrate solutions that use less carbon. It demonstrates Plastic Omnium’s desire to maintain its leadership by being proactive to these customers. These projects are the result of close technical partnerships with the Group’s long-standing partners. Plastic Omnium signed a strategic partnership with TotalEnergies at the end of 2021 to conceive new recycled polypropylenes that are more efficient and environmentally friendly. Work has also been started with certain suppliers of chemicals and materials to develop bio-sourced raw materials. The roadmap is being implemented and follows on from the projects initiated with a collaborative approach: making suppliers aware of the urgent need to rethink their design and ● sourcing; sharing best practices; ● intensifying the use of product life cycle analysis to make the right ● choices from the design stage and refine the calculations; considering the end of life of parts to simplify dismantling and recycling. ● Transportation Initiatives are already under way in the supply chain to reduce emissions linked to the purchase of transportation services. For certain flows, mainly long-distance, work with the carrier has enabled a move to using biogas trucks (bio-CNG). Eventually, for each new transportation need, suppliers will need to be able to propose carbon-neutral transport. Within Intelligent Exterior Systems, a logistics optimization project in the United States has reduced emissions by decreasing the number of kilometers traveled. The Group decided to internalize logistics management by grouping deliveries made with several suppliers. In a second step, logistics specialists want to integrate trucks that emit less carbon. This project, conducted in the United States in 2021, will be rolled out in Europe in 2022: today, two plants out of the twenty-five in this area have already implemented this new approach. One plant in India has also implemented the project.
