REDUCED ENVIRONMENTAL FOOTPRINT

Renault factors in all the impacts of its vehicles throughout their lives, from design and production to use and recycling. The objective of this global “life cycle” approach is to reduce the environmental footprint of its vehicles.

Production 

All Renault production plants have ISO 14001 certification, reflecting progress achieved in environmental management.

Use 

The development of engines running on biofuels and “downsizing” efforts help to reduce CO2 emissions during the vehicle use phase.

End of life 

New vehicle recycling procedures at end-of-life, together with the development of internal eco-design processes, have enabled Renault to set an objective of using 50 kg recycled plastic per car in 2015, equal to an average 20% of all plastic content. Today, all Renault vehicles are already 95% recoverable by mass.
