Enabling Sustainable Repair Solutions for Automotive Parts
How does reusing automotive parts impact the carbon footprint compared to using new parts?
Challenge
Fremtind required a methodology to measure and visualize the environmental impact of different approaches to car repair. The primary focus was on comparing the lifecycle emissions of repairing existing parts, using parts from other vehicles, or sourcing new parts.
How We Collaborate
Together with Fremtind, we developed a comprehensive model to analyze emissions and resource consumption across the entire value chain.
This diagram highlights key sources of GHG emissions throughout the automotive repair lifecycle, from raw material extraction to waste sorting, revealing opportunities to reduce environmental impact.
This included the following key steps
Value Chain Mapping: Created scenarios for repairing damaged parts, utilizing equal parts from other vehicles, or introducing entirely new components.
Lifecycle Analysis: Evaluated emissions based on the production process, material sourcing, transportation, and disposal methods.
Data-Driven Insights: Integrated data on CO2 emissions from various production and repair methods, leveraging sustainability benchmarks for materials such as steel, aluminum, and glass.
Data-Driven Insights
The Terralight interface provides a streamlined analysis of CO2 emissions, offering Fremtind a clear comparison of environmental impacts across product lifecycles—empowering data-driven sustainability decisions.
Impact
Our work provided Fremtind with actionable insights to highlight the environmental advantages of reusing automotive parts, emphasizing the reduction in carbon emissions and resource use. This collaboration supports their commitment to sustainability and aligns with customer expectations for greener solutions.
