Circularity
DAF is embracing Circularity as a core principle of its business processes. Circularity focuses on extending the lifecycle
of products and materials, ensuring that resources are used efficiently and responsibly. In our approach to circularity,
DAF uses the R-ladder framework: Reduce, Reuse, Repair, Remanufacture, and Recycle.
At DAF, we aim to reduce waste by designing trucks that last for decades, maximizing service intervals and using returnable packaging for 95% of inbound parts. We promote the sale of used trucks, allowing trucks to serve multiple owners throughout their product lives. Our focus on recycling is evident as over 90% of our facilities’ waste is recycled and the recycled content in our trucks is over 35% today. Additionally, we have a program for remanufacturing driveline components giving these major components a ‘second life’.
DAF’s circularity initiatives not only contribute to a sustainable future but also create customer value, reduce risks, and foster a circular economy.
Ensure sustainable consumption and production patterns.
We are aware of the value of the materials needed to build a truck. We aim to minimize the volume of required material, increase recycled content and recyclability of our trucks, run a successful remanufacturing program, and reduce the residual waste from our production sites.
Targets:
2030: Reduce residual waste to below 10% as part of the total waste generated
2030: Reduce virgin material used for packaging by 30% compared to 2022
2030: Increase the share of circular products in the PACCAR Parts portfolio from 4,2% (2024) to 7%
