AUDI AG is the first car manufacturer to develop and implement an economically viable recycling concept for recyclates from end-of-life vehicles. The company began testing the MaterialLoop program in 2023. This year, Audi will make several thousand pre-production vehicles available for recycling. These vehicles will be shredded by TSR Group GmbH & Co. KG Resource and processed into high-quality recycled raw materials for further use in the automotive industry. 🔄

Audi will have access to the secondary material obtained from these vehicles, which will be credited to a digital material account. Potential material and part suppliers can access this credit balance as part of a tendering process. This gives potential contractual partners of Audi exclusive access to high-quality recycled steel raw materials.
