Target: effective recovery of 95% of all vehicles by 2015

This target concerns end of life vehicles and is given by the European Directive. The pooling of the expertise of Renault, SITA and INDRA will allow to reach this rate for each vehicle in 2015, as ecologically and economically as possible.

Production phase

  • For European plants: by 2009, reduce packaging weight to 5 kg for new vehicles at the final assembly stage.
  • Reduce ordinary industrial waste (excluding metal offcuts) to 37 kg per vehicle by 2007.
  • Reduce hazardous waste requiring treatment and disposal to 26 kg per vehicle by 2007.

End-of-life

  • Achieve an effective recovery rate of 85% for materials used in vehicle production.
  • Increase the use of recycled plastics in new vehicles to 50 kg by 2015, in the region of 20 to 25% total plastic content.
