The "Green Wiring System" working group focuses on sustainable materials, recycling methods and CO₂ reduction in wiring system production. Challenges such as rising raw material prices, regulatory requirements and growing environmental awareness require a rethink.

Regulatory drivers:

• ELV Directive: Mandatory recycling quotas from 2030.
• CSR Directive: Extended sustainability reporting obligations from 2026.
• CO₂ costs: sustainability as an economic advantage.

The Transformation Hub Leitungssatz offers a neutral platform for companies to develop sustainable technologies and strategies. A Whitepaper, which summarizes proven methods and recommendations for action.

Central questions:

• What sustainable material alternatives are there?
• Which recycling technologies are sustainable?
• Where is there potential for innovation in wiring harness production?
• How can CO₂ emissions be reduced along the value chain?

The kick-off took place on 20. February 2025 in the Open Hybrid LabFactory, Wolfsburg instead. Companies and experts are still invited to participate.

From 4 March 2025, the working group will meet every two weeks Tuesdays from 15:30 to 17:00 o'clock.
