Stellantis applies circular economy principles throughout the vehicle lifecycle, from design to end-of-life. A dedicated business unit manages efficient material use, waste reduction, and resource efficiency through the 4R strategy: reman (remanufacturing), repair, reuse, and recycling. This strategy is intended to prolong product lifespans and reintegrate recycled materials into manufacturing processes.
With this vision, we believe that we are creating long-lasting value for all stakeholders while respecting the Planet’s boundaries.
Committed to a Circular Economy
We offer a sustainable aftersales alternative
Introduced in 2022, the SUSTAINera label highlights our global circular economy initiatives and provides customers – including vehicle owners and maintenance and repair professionals – with a comprehensive range of sustainable and affordable aftersales products and services. The aftersales range includes remanufactured, repaired, reused and recycled parts and products for vehicle maintenance, with our portfolio expanding each year to offer even broader coverage.
These initiatives help reduce waste, conserve resources, and achieve up to 80% savings in raw materials and up to 50% in non-emitted CO2 – compared to equivalent new parts(1) – without compromising quality.

We are expanding circular economy solutions
A “Repair and Return” service is available for multi-brand automatic gearboxes and complex electronic parts: worn components are repaired and returned for use in the original vehicle, while defective parts are repaired and made available for off-the-shelf purchase. In 2025, this service was expanded to include other repairs – such as high-voltage batteries – through a global network of 33 e-repair centers.
Additionally, Stellantis reconditions vehicles at the SUSTAINera Circular Economy Hub in Mirafiori, Italy, complementing existing reconditioning activities in Europe with Aramis.
In 2025, Stellantis also opened South America’s first Vehicle Dismantling Center in Brazil, promoting circular economy practices by dismantling up to 8,000 vehicles annually and recovering automotive parts for reuse or recycling.

We implement a sustainable battery supply chain ecosystem
High-voltage batteries are central to our electrification strategy. From production to recycling, Stellantis is developing a global circular economy model for high-voltage batteries used in hybrid and electric vehicles. Batteries that cannot be repaired are either remanufactured in-house or with supplier partners, reused in second-life applications, or recycled.
