• Forvia disclosed the launch of KOLLEKT, a 3-year R&D program to develop circular vehicle components using headlamps as the pilot product.
• Work targets “design for circularity” to enable repair, reuse, remanufacture, recycling, aiming to cut material use and support a climate-neutral value chain.
• Planned industrial approach includes an AI-enabled robotic disassembly cell supported by a digital product twin to separate parts by material type.
• Downstream processes will sort plastics, remove contaminants, then feed mechanical recycling with limited chemical recycling for selected fractions.
• Project builds on the NALYSES program completed in 2026, shifting from design concepts toward an integrated circular value chain.
