- Temps-plein
- Minimise use of virgin raw materials in new vehicle by maximising recycled content in design phase.
- Ensure Zero waste in manufacturing
- Maximise End of Life Vehicle (ELV) recycling by reintegration of this recycled material back into Toyota supply chain.
- Battery 3R (Reuse, Reduce, Recycle) POC:
- Design POC to validate business case and identify learning outcomes to close the knowledge GAP.
- Create action plan and KPI’s with stakeholders and lead implementation of Battery 3R (Reuse, Reduce, Recycle):
- Linked with POC #2 (vehicle & battery disassembly) study best sorting process for BEV, PHEV, HEV batteries.
- Study and define best in class battery State of Health (SOH) evaluation process, with internal and external partners. Implement SOH evaluation process, allowing sorting in 3 categories:
- Reuse in Vehicle
- Reuse in Battery Energy Storage System (BESS)
- Recycling
- Reuse in Vehicle: Study profit contribution by increased NiMH Reman volume with Value-Chain (VC). Study technical and quality requirements for Li-Ion battery reman. Define commercialisation process and implement with VC
- Reuse in BESS: Study market potential and technical requirements with internal/external stakeholders. Define business case and commercialisation plan.
- Recycling: Complete strategic evaluation (technology, capability, capacity…) of current and future EU recycling partners to meet our ’31 Battery Directive compliance targets.
- Create “Best Practice Battery 3R Model” based on POC learning and develop Pan-E rollout plan.
- Plastic & Copper Recycling POC:
- Design POC to validate business case and identify learning outcomes to close the knowledge GAP.
- Create action plan and KPI’s with stakeholders and lead implementation by engaging with external partners and internal stakeholders.
- Develop efficient sorting process linked with POC 2 (ATF/Dismantler) to allow separation of:
- Plastics : Various grades of plastics (PP, PA, ABS…) and within plastic family (i.e PP : TSOP5, TSOP7..)
- Copper : Wiring harness, electrical motor…
- Define technical requirements of material output with relevant downstream stakeholders.
- Based on technical requirements, process design should include line layout, machine and equipment specification and resource requirements.
- Create “Best Practice Plastic and Copper Recycling Model” based on POC learning and develop Pan-E rollout plan.
