Ferrari prioritizes strategies for avoiding or minimizing waste by designing products with durability, reparability, and recyclability in mind. They embrace circular economy principles, ensuring their cars can be passed on from one generation to the next. Ferrari cars are expected to have a durability of at least 80 years, exceeding the industry average lifespan. This approach aligns with eco-design and treating waste as a resource.

Car makers consume large amounts of raw materials, and a conscientious planning of the manufacturing process is essential to the careful management of these resources. Among the most used materials in cars are lightweight elements such as aluminum, polymers, and to a lesser extent other metals (copper, titanium, platinum group, silicon, zinc, magnesium) elastomers, fluids, lithium, light rare earth elements.
