Stellantis will look to upgrade its medium-term target for the minimum percentage of recycled material in its vehicles from 35 percent, the carmaker's Senior Vice President Global Circular Economy Alison Jones said.
In its business plan, Stellantis has set a goal to boost revenues of its recycling business ten-fold to over 2 billion euros ($1.9 billion) by 2030. It also aims to quadruple revenues from extended-life parts and services.
"We talk about having a minimum target of 35 percent of recycled materials in our vehicles, it will vary by vehicles," Jones said on Tuesday whilw presenting Stellantis's Circular Economy business.
"Of course we will look to increase that, because we want to make sure we take more material and put it back in our vehicles going forward," Jones said, without specifying what the percentage might rise to.
Jones said the project -- based on "reman," "repair," "reuse" and "recycle" -- would help the group meet its carbon net zero target set for 2038.
It will also help the automaker to keep prices lower as the shift to electrification often means more expensive vehicles, and cope with potential prolonged shortages of raw materials in its supply chain.
Stellantis CEO Carlos Tavares has said scarcity of raw materials will continue in the next decade, adding it is a key task for the carmaker to extend the life of materials it uses.
