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.

Ferrari considers environmental protection to be a decisive aspect to be promoted in its overall approach to business. The Environmental Practice promotes the reuse of waste materials in the production process according to a circular economy approach. Moreover, it aims to reduce the quantity of waste and optimize the amount of materials sent to recovery plants. The practice covers the following impacts and opportunity: “Reduction of waste thanks to the increase of durability, reparability and recyclability of spare parts (e.g. racing and sports cars) or products (e.g. lifestyle)”, “production of hazardous / non hazardous waste by the organization”, “promotion of circularity within the value chain to reduce the use of natural resources and waste produced by suppliers”, “production of hazardous / non hazardous waste by the supply chain” and “circular economy manufacturing initiatives implemented: use of recycled materials, recovery of production waste for recycling and projects aimed at ensuring an extension of product life”.
