FORVIA HELLA joins KOLLEKT project to develop circular headlamp design for reuse and recycling
  • Hella launched the three-year KOLLEKT R&D project to redesign vehicle headlamps for circular use, targeting a climate-neutral value chain.
  • Work centers on “design for circularity” using Repair, Re-Use, Remanufacture, Recycle to extend component life beyond single-use designs.
  • Development includes an AI-enabled robotic disassembly cell guided by a digital product twin to automate material-separated teardown at industrial scale.
  • Downstream processes target contaminant removal, plastic-fraction separation, material characterization, mechanical recycling, partial chemical recycling.
  • Project builds on NALYSES results, shifting from design and recycling studies to an integrated circular value-chain model.
