Eco-design: Innovation for more Sustainability
Developing sustainable products involves reevaluating their environmental impact across the entire lifecycle, aiming to minimize harm from production to disposal.
Launched in June 2023 in Europe, CanopyTM is the first Valeo Aftermarket innovation designed for the environment.
Due to a radical transformation of the product, packaging, and production cycle, Canopy wipers produce -61% CO2 emissions.*

Preservation of Resources
Choose reman and repair as an eco conscious choice to preserve resources.
Instead of throwing away an old part, you are giving a second life to the product.
Currently, Valeo remanufactures around 1 million parts each year, with more than 8,000 P/N.
- Up to 80% of the raw material is reused in reman.
- without compromising quality, a remanufactured part delivers the exact same functional characteristics as a new one

More than 400 tons of plastic is saved each year*, which corresponds to the weight of more than 11 million plastic bottles.
* Based on estimation of 40g of plastic used per packaging (consumer sales unit) on 2020 sales volumes (Europe).
