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.

An evidence of Ferrari attention to waste reduction is represented by our management of scraps. We recycle aluminum scraps by melting them in the foundry, thus ensuring the reentering of those scraps in the manufacturing process. This is an important achievement, considering that aluminum is the first raw material by weight used in our production process. The aluminum scraps, i.e. the shavings, generated during the mechanical process that cannot be melted, are compacted and eventually resold to companies specialized in recycling. This process has always been fully integrated in our foundry and involves Ferrari’s operations.
