Politecnico di Milano announces the start of TREASURE project
1 June 2021 marked the start of the TREASURE project (leading the TRansion of the European Automotive SUpply chain towards a circulaR futurE), coordinated by Sergio Terzi (associate professor) and Paolo Rosa from the Management, Economics and Industrial Engineering Department at the Politecnico di Milano. Co-funded by the European Commission with the H2020 programme, TREASURE is a Research and Innovation Action (RIA) that aims to offer new testing opportunities for new technologies to make the automotive sector more circular. Its main objectives are: to guarantee sustainable use of raw materials in the automotive sector reducing the risks linked to supplies; to apply the circular economy paradigm to the automotive sector, acting as examples for the manufacturing macrosector; to deliver better economic, environmental and social performance for vehicles for all users; to create new supply chains around end-of-life vehicles (ELVs), focusing on the circular use of raw materials. In this way, TREASURE will deliver tangible support for companies in the automotive sector, providing a practical demonstration of the benefits obtainable from the application of the circular economy paradigm, from the point of view of both business and supply chains and also of technology and sustainability, through the adoption of industry 4.0 technologies in the management processes of ELVs and their parts.
