In this episode, Lucas and David are joined by Allison Jones, Senior Vice President of Circular Economy at Stellantis. Allison explains the concept of a circular economy and its three main components: using less material, extending the life of products, and ensuring recyclability at the end of their lifecycle. David shares his frustration with other manufacturers' tendencies to design parts as single-use, contrasting it with Stellantis' commitment to remanufacturing and sustainability. Allison also discusses the potential benefits of their e-commerce platform, Bparts, which facilitates the trade of certified used parts and can help alleviate the issue of backordered parts. This episode offers insightful perspectives on sustainable practices in the automotive industry, making it a must-listen for those interested in environmental responsibility and innovation.
