What We Do?

The Challenge As We Observe

The global Takata airbags & seatbelts recall has adversely impacted the automotive sector and its recycling/sustainability goals.

Globally, more than 100 million defective airbags have been recalled so far as of 2022, with about 70 million of these in North America alone.

Additionally, about 12 million vehicles reach their end of life every year, mostly ending up in scrapyards & landfills, generating huge airbag waste which can instead be easily recycled for its components

Moreover, Non Takata recalls have also been steadily averaging around 1mn units a year, thus creating a burgeoning airbag waste management challenge for OEMs.
