Solera launched its Global Circularity Consortium in Latin America at the CQCS Inovação 2026 event in São Paulo, Brazil. The consortium unites insurers, automotive manufacturers, repairers, recyclers, governments and academia to advance industry circularity initiatives.
Why it matters
The expansion extends the consortium's collaboration across APAC, Europe, LATAM and North America, signaling a broader push to shift repair economics and parts sourcing toward recycled and green alternatives. Its regional leadership panels aim to identify practical opportunities for the industry.
Solera operates in more than 120 countries and serves over 280,000 customers, and reports that 100% of insurers connected through its ecosystem in many European countries are adopting green parts at scale. Independent verification of these adoption rates and their measured outcomes has not been provided.

The Solera Foundation founded the Global Circularity Consortium to bring industry stakeholders together on circular automotive practices.
The details
Solera launched the consortium at CQCS Inovação 2026, held November 4-5 in São Paulo, Brazil, where Solera is a Platinum Partner.

Timeline
- November 4-5, 2026: CQCS Inovação 2026 takes place in São Paulo, Brazil.
- November 9, 2026: Solera announces the GCC Latin America launch.
Roadmap
The consortium's partnership with the Automotive Recyclers Association places Solera's circularity push within the established recycled-parts sector rather than as a standalone initiative. Its expansion across APAC, Europe, LATAM and North America reflects a global movement toward green parts and carbon reporting in auto insurance and repair.
Car owners whose insurers participate in the consortium may see more recycled and green parts used in repairs. The shift toward recycled parts could affect repair timelines and costs, though the source does not quantify these effects.
The takeaway
Drivers filing auto insurance claims may increasingly encounter recycled and green parts as insurers adopt circularity programs. Asking your insurer which parts it uses can help you understand repair options.
