Last week, our CEO Hugues Delval took to the stage at the ATF Professional Vehicle Recycling Conference 2026 at the British Motor Museum in Gaydon.

The theme of the day was clear: collaboration, and thinking globally. The forces reshaping vehicle recycling – electrification, shifting insurer behaviour, battery management, circular economy policy – aren't confined to one market. They're playing out across Europe and around the world, and no single business can meet those challenges alone.

In Hugues' session, "From Waste to Value: Building a Scalable Circular Ecosystem in the Automotive Aftermarket", he shared what it takes to scale quickly in this industry, along with the story behind Autocirc's insurance-led business model. He spoke about markets like Norway – where EV adoption is the highest in Europe, making it a frontrunner – and a place where we get to develop and refine how we handle electric vehicles and their batteries.

It all ties back to our core focus: capturing value across the entire ecosystem of spare parts, by building stronger links between dismantlers, repairers, insurers and manufacturers.

Thank you to ATF Professional for having us – and to everyone who stopped by for the conversation.

Exciting news – Autocirc is proud to be a part of the SCAPINI project (Scaling Circular Car Parts in Nordic Insurance) a Nordic Innovation initiative to accelerate circular automotive repair across Sweden, Norway, Finland, and Denmark.

The project is initiated and led in close collaboration with Nordic insurance companies, who have a decisive role in repair decisions. Their participation ensures that solutions can be tested, validated, and implemented directly in real repair processes during the project.

In this project insurers, workshops, dismantlers, and research institutes, are working together to make reused car parts the natural first choice – not the exception.

"The transition from linear to circular repair is happening, and we're proud to be part of shaping it – by helping insurance companies understand the value and availability that circular car parts bring."
– Hanna Wadsten, ESG and Quality Manager, Autocirc.

143 kg vs 7.9 kg of CO₂e.

That's the difference between producing a new Diesel Particulate Filter and remanufacturing an existing one — a reduction of around 94%.

By restoring used DPF filters instead of replacing them, the environmental footprint can be reduced dramatically. Remanufacturing is not just about extending the life of a component, it's part of our ecosystem at Autocirc and part of what circularity looks like in practise across our network. 🌿

New EU legislation on vehicle circularity is accelerating the transformation of our industry. Through the revised ELV framework, requirements on reuse, recycling and recovery are increasing - alongside extended producer responsibility and a broader scope across vehicle types.

Dismantling is no longer just an operational step. It’s becoming a critical part of the circular value chain. Autocirc Finland is proud to collaborate with Turku University of Applied Sciences in a research project focused on exploring how dismantling processes must evolve to meet future demands ✨

Together with partners across the value chain, in this case including Valmet Automotive, the project explores how dismantling can become more:
• Efficient and scalable
• Data-driven and standardised
• Aligned with upcoming regulatory requirements

By combining practical expertise from Autocirc’s operations with academic research, we are taking important steps towards a more standardised, transparent, and circular value chain for vehicles, says Henna Knuutila, Senior Lecturer at Turku University of Applied Sciences and project leader.

Vehicle dismantling has now been recognised as its own vocational field in Norway - and we are proud to see this happen ✨

In collaboration with Norwegian Car Recyclers, industry organisations and trade unions, the Norwegian Directorate for Education and Training has established a completely new vocational programme: VG3 Vehicle Dismantling.

Why does this matter? Because our work is about much more than dismantling vehicles. Every day, we work with:
• Environmental decontamination and proper handling of hazardous materials
• Quality assessment of used parts for reuse
• Logistics and sales
• Regulations and sustainability

This requires specialised expertise that traditional automotive education does not fully cover - and now it is finally receiving the recognition it deserves.

For us, this creates better opportunities to recruit, train and retain skilled professionals. It means a more professional industry, and it enables us to deliver even higher quality to our customers.

Every reused car part has a story.

It begins when an end-of-life or damaged vehicle arrives at one of our centres - like Caréco Molins - Autocirc in France, part of Autocirc.

Our French insurance partner Groupe Covéa recently came to see this journey first-hand, and together with our Manon Molins they show how reused parts move from a retired vehicle to giving new life to another car.

A huge thank you to the Covéa-team for taking the time to visit us, for your curiosity, and for helping share the story of a circular automotive industry with a wider audience. Partnerships like this are what move the industry forward ✨

In the image, you see the inside of a car door. Our dismantlers have written three different dismantling numbers on it, at different points in time.

This means the same door has been used in three different vehicles. That’s what we call reuse!

By giving a car door a new life, we avoid around 113 kilos of CO₂e emissions - equal to the footprint of driving about 94 km by car.

In this way, we contribute to lower climate impact - again and again 🌱

This reflects how we have built capacity to meet customer needs across Norway 🇳🇴

The facility in Vestby has been in operation for two years, allowing us to reach 80% of our customers in Norway within 24 hours. At the same time, it strengthens logistics and boosts the reuse of auto parts across the Nordics and Europe, making reuse more accessible, lowering costs and helping keep cars on the road for longer.

This is also reflected in how the facility is used today.
“Since we put Vestby into full operation, we have scaled up our handling capacity significantly, and our partners now use it as a centralised storage hub to unlock greater production potential across all facilities”, says Bjarte Kaldestad, Country Manager Norway.

This is where it happens.

Step by step, components that might otherwise be discarded are restored and brought back into circulation. Autocirc Rematrontech is a leading remanufacturer of vehicle components, with operations focused on two core business areas: emission systems - being at the forefront of Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) cleaning - and electronics.

Engineering, precision, and circular thinking - all under one roof and a key area in Autocirc's strong ecosystem 🌱

IARC 2026 - the International Automotive Recycling Congress was successfully organised by ICM AG last week in Hamburg ✨

A significant conference where nearly 300 decision-makers from the automotive and recycling sectors came together to discuss the opportunities and challenges shaping the industry.

“IARC plays an important role in bringing together stakeholders in the automotive industry, and it’s valuable to hear different perspectives and expectations. These discussions clearly show that the transformation is not only ahead of us - it is already happening today,” says Hugues Delval, CEO at Autocirc.

Here, Hugues shares his thoughts, among other things, the dynamic development of Autocirc and on the importance of collaboration in managing raw materials for a more circular automotive industry:
