Renault Refactory: Circular Economy as a Success Model
The French automobile manufacturer Renault has reported a positive outcome from the first year of operations of its so-called Refactory at the Flins plant. According to the company, the first European center for circular economy in the mobility sector for the industrial-scale refurbishment of used vehicles is another important step in the sustainability transformation plan.
"We are keeping our promise: one year after its launch, the Refactory embodies an ambitious project at the Flins site and opens up a new source of economic, social, and ecological added value. The Refactory is a symbol of the Renaulution strategy, which commits the group to a profound, rapid, and sustainable transformation focused on value creation," says Luca de Meo, CEO of the Renault Group.
Further Expansion to 700 Employees
By the end of the year, 700 employees will be working in the Refactory, and by 2030, more than 3,000 employees are expected to work in the circular economy center. The Refactory comprises a complete ecosystem based on four pillars:
- RE-TROFIT is responsible for the refurbishment of used cars
- RE-ENERGY deals with the repurposing of retired drive batteries, hydrogen technology, and energy in general
- RE-CYCLE sector involving the recycling of car parts
- RE-START denotes the research and training center.
There is a short processing time and high quality. The RE-TROFIT area also includes the now officially opened Factory VO, which consolidates all activities around used vehicles. With an area of 11,000 square meters, it is the largest facility of its kind in Europe. Currently, 180 used vehicles are refurbished per day, about 45,000 vehicles per year. Starting in 2023, this number is expected to double again. During the ramp-up phase, the employees have already successfully refurbished more than 1,500 vehicles, according to the manufacturer. In the medium term, the service portfolio will also include major body repairs. A conversion project for switching from commercial to electric vehicles is also planned.
Back in the Cycle in Eight Days
100 percent digitized, the factory allows traceability and real-time monitoring of each refurbishment phase. Additionally, it is designed to be cross-brand so that most vehicle types can be refurbished. Through high-quality vehicle scans, a standardized evaluation takes place, allowing the vehicles to be reintroduced into the market and circulation already after eight days instead of the previous 21 days.
