Stellantis is expanding its circular economy business in Brazil, converting end-of-life vehicles from its dismantling center in Osasco, São Paulo, into a source of traceable used parts sold through a widening digital and third-party distribution network.

The operation, branded Circular Autopeças, is the public face of the strategy this week at ReciclaAuto 2026, the event running August 14 and 15 at the Novotel São Paulo Center Norte, where visitors can buy reused parts directly from the company's stand.

The physical anchor is the Osasco facility. Workers there recover usable components from vehicles that have reached the end of their operational lives, then inspect, catalog and return selected parts to the market through channels that comply with Brazilian regulations. That process gives buyers a documented way to verify component origin while keeping usable materials in circulation longer.

The digital buildout is the news. Circular Autopeças has launched its own e-commerce platform, adding a direct channel alongside existing storefronts on Mercado Livre, Peça Direta and Shopee. The dedicated store gives Stellantis more direct control over inventory, availability and customer relationships, and makes recovered components easier to find throughout Brazil.

The company is also opening a business platform aimed at commercial representatives who want to become Circular Autopeças distributors. Rather than concentrating sales around the Osasco operation, Stellantis intends to build a broader network capable of carrying traceable used parts into regions where direct distribution is less practical.

The material logic

The rationale extends beyond waste diversion. Reusing a working component extends the useful life of the materials and energy already invested in manufacturing it, and it can supply drivers and repair shops with a cheaper alternative to new replacement parts.

Traceability carries equal weight in this market. Brazil sustains a significant trade in used automotive components, and documented origin separates legally recovered parts from products with uncertain provenance — a distinction that matters for both buyers and regulators.

Stellantis will detail the strategy on August 15, when Martin Siroit and Robson Chaves present a session on the next cycle of mobility. The Osasco dismantling center serves as the industrial example behind the company's four circular-economy pillars: remanufacturing, repair, reuse and recycling.

The model now on display treats end-of-life vehicle management as a structured commercial activity, one in which lower-cost parts, resource recovery and digital sales channels feed the same business. The open question is scale — how far the Osasco operation's output can stretch across a country the size of Brazil through e-commerce and a distributor network still being recruited.

The milestone to watch is the rollout itself: the performance of the new e-commerce platform and the pace at which Stellantis signs commercial representatives will determine whether Circular Autopeças becomes a national parts channel or remains a regional operation with a strong digital storefront.
