Product: Designing for efficiency and circularity

Designing for efficiency and circularity: We understand that every contribution to reducing emissions through weight reduction and lower energy consumption counts in the long run, as does designing for reuse and improving the recyclability of our products at the end of their use. Through collaboration with our customers, suppliers and partners, we are confident that we will continue to make the biggest differences at the product level through weight reduction, design and material innovation.
Product targets
