1 – Second life for automotive parts

GAIA buys all obsolete parts inventories, including end‑of‑line items, overstocks, production rejects, and damaged parts.

It offers a fast purchase process based on a provided parts list, with full stock handling across three continents, end‑to‑end traceability, and on‑demand replenishment to support operational needs. The process ensures end‑to‑end traceability while enabling on‑demand restocking to effectively support operational needs.

Benefits for suppliers: turn a cost into profit, free up storage space, and quickly adopt a concrete circular‑economy approach.

Recycling
of materials

Recycling
of materials

GAIA collects and organizes the recycling of automotive materials to give them a second life in line with manufacturers’ technical requirements. GAIA recycles copper from wiring harnesses, polypropylene from bumpers, flat aluminum parts (such as aluminum hoods), and platinum‑group metals recovered from catalytic converters.

These recycled materials replace virgin resources and support the integration of the circular economy within the automotive industry.

3 – End‑of‑life vehicle management

GAIA dismantling center, located in Flins, has a collection, processing, and recycling capacity of 7,000 end‑of‑life vehicles per year. Thanks to an industrialized process, it can extract more than 25 parts per vehicle and handle over 14 different materials for recycling.

GAIA also supports companies in managing the end‑of‑life phase of their vehicle fleets across Europe: vehicle handling, de‑branding, administrative management, and resale or recycling according to each client’s specifications.

repairing

GAIA supports manufacturers in the repair of traction batteries, whose lifespan is estimated at 15 years. Since 2012, GAIA has repaired more than 18,000 batteries.

When they can no longer be repaired for automotive use, GAIA prepares them for a second life: stationary energy storage or other mobility solutions, or directs them to appropriate recycling channels.
