Circular Reverse Supply Chains in Automotives (Ce:VersA)


Prof. Dr. Johannes Meuer (Kühne Logistics University - KLU)

Funded by Circularity e. V., Encory GmbH, Kühne Logistics University (KLU)

Brief description

The project aims to build a European alliance for a more circular economy between automotive manufacturers, component manufacturers, and logistics companies. With its focus on joint reverse logistics, Ce:Versa offers great potential for reducing CO2 emissions along the value chain.

Project purpose

A new European alliance for a more circular economy in the automotive industry - this is the goal of the new project Ce:VersA - Circular Reverse Supply Chains in Automotives with the joint partners KLU, Do-Tank Circularity, and Encory GmbH. The project aims to build a European alliance for a more circular economy between automotive manufacturers (OEMs), component manufacturers (OESs), and logistics companies. In the so-called "reverse supply chain" the collection, screening, control, and distribution of automotive components for remanufacturing and recycling are to be organized across the industry and shared by all OEMs and OESs. All parties share full transparency of the location and processing status of their components at all times. This will not only save costs but also keep valuable resources in the European cycle and promote environmental protection. With its focus on joint reverse logistics, Ce:Versa offers great potential in particular for reducing CO2 emissions along the value chain.
