EMR Automotive Open Day & Facility Tour: Accelerating Circularity in Automotive
Electrification is accelerating. Regulations are tightening. Critical materials are becoming harder to secure.
For the automotive industry, the challenge is no longer just how to build the next generation of vehicles, but how to secure the materials needed to build them.
From aluminium and copper to batteries and other critical rare earth elements, tomorrow’s mobility depends on the materials already in circulation today.
EMR, a global leader in circular materials, invites you to explore that challenge first-hand at our Automotive Open Day and Facility Tour.
About the Event
This session brings together automotive OEMs, suppliers and industry partners to explore how circular materials can strengthen the future of automotive manufacturing.
As electrification accelerates and pressure grows around carbon, recycled content and material security, the industry is being challenged to rethink how vehicles, and the materials inside them, move through the lifecycle.
From lightweight aluminium and copper to batteries, motors and end-of-life vehicles, we’ll explore how circular materials are shaping the future of automotive manufacturing, and how smarter recovery, processing and reuse can support material security and territorial resilience, lower carbon operations and long-term supply resilience.
You’ll hear from EMR specialists, see our operation in action and gain insight into how circular materials can help reduce supply risk, support compliance and build more resilient, low-carbon automotive operations.
Because tomorrow’s mobility depends on today’s materials.
What You’ll Experience
Live Facility Tour: Follow the journey of metals through our site and see how materials are processed, separated and prepared for reuse.
Technical Insight: Discover how advanced separation and processing techniques can help retain the quality and performance of automotive-grade materials.
Industry Insight Session: Explore the shift from volume-based recycling to value-preserving circularity, and what it means for the future of automotive manufacturing.
Open Discussion: Exchange ideas with peers on material security, decarbonisation and the evolving demands of the automotive supply chain.
Why Attend
The automotive industry is under pressure to do more with the materials already in circulation.
As electrification accelerates and scrutiny around carbon, recycled content and material sourcing intensifies, businesses need practical ways to build resilience into future vehicle production.
