    In a statement, Bentley Motors Board for Manufacturing Member Peter Bosch said, “Our drive toward a plastic-free future is an essential part of our Beyond100 strategy and this pioneering collaboration with South Pole has helped us evaluate the impact of the steps we’ve been taking to reduce and recycle plastic reduce around our site by examining every aspect of our logistics value chain. From the bubble wrap and foam used to package inbound parts, to the car body covers and shrink wrap processes employed on vehicle protection and aftersales materials, no stone has been left unturned and we’ve been able to make quick and effective changes.”

    The assessment covered operational macro-plastic parts packaging used in logistics and manufacturing, micro-plastic emissions from tire abrasion as part of the logistics and product life cycle, and disposal of plastic protection downstream at global dealerships. A total of 165.4 tons of plastic footprint was recorded. According to South Pole, most of the plastic wastes were already recycled properly. The organization also recommended ways to tackle the non-processed waste that was found in the assessment.

    Bentley has also invested in certified units that support South Pole’s projects for developing specialist plastic waste collection and recycling infrastructure projects in order to ensure that the non-processed plastic waste has been effectively mitigated. These units are Neela Saga in India and Second Life in Thailand.

    “As a global brand, this process has helped us gain a broader perspective and insight into our footprint out in our regions and we will follow with great interest the progress of the two plastic waste and recycling projects our credits will support in Thailand and India. Our next step is to broaden the scope to cover other aspects of our business,” Bosch added.

    Established in 2006, South Pole helps organizations around the world come up with comprehensive emission reduction strategies that turn climate action into long-term business opportunities. It is in line with the UN sustainability development goals and Paris Agreement targets.
