the auto industry
changes gear

The automotive sector is undergoing a profound transformation to limit its impact on the natural resources that are used in the production of new cars.

While a vehicle is 85% recyclable, less than 30% of recycled materials are currently used in its production. 

How can we do better, reducing resource extraction, preventing the depletion of natural reserves, simplifying logistics, and lowering environmental impact? This is the mission of The Future is NEUTRAL.

Our resource: the 11 million end-of-life vehiclese each year in Europe, or 30,000 vehicles per day.

We collect and dismantle these end-of-life vehicles to recover parts and materials.

We reuse, remanufacture, and recycle these parts and materials to reintroduce them into the automotive life cycle: from car to car.
