Environmental Benefits of Remanufacturing

At BORG Automotive Reman, we take responsibility not only for our partners but also for the environment. We are proud to grow our business using a circular business model that significantly reduces CO2 emissions and energy emissions and saves on raw materials compared to manufacturing the original automotive part.

Remanufacturing is a significant contributor to a circular economy, where as much material as possible is given new life, and as little as possible goes to waste.

Remanufacturing extends the life of a product by bringing a defective product to the same standard as it was when it was first manufactured by putting it through a process that aims to reuse most of the material - without compromising on quality. As a result, the environmental impact is also minimized.

By remanufacturing our products, on average, 60% less CO2eq is emitted, 42% less energy (MJ) is consumed, and there is 70% less depletion of nature's non-renewable raw materials (Sb-eq).* 

^{*The average reduction is calculated from index 100 for each newly produced product without taking into account differences in production volumes for the 8 remanufactured products.
