1.Improve waste management
 The main priority of the progress plan is to cut quantities of residual waste incinerated without recovery of energy or sent to landfill. In pursuit of this aim, Renault is taking action at source (reduction in quantities of waste, design, sorting). The amount of packaging waste per vehicle fell 54 % between 1996 and 2007. In 2007 sites produced 46 kg of ordinary waste (excluding sheet metal scrap) per vehicle. In 2007 sites produced 29 kg of hazardous waste per vehicle....

8.Valladolid Body Assembly (Spain)
 The site has put in place several initiatives to reduce the volume of waste generated by each activity : waste separation and identification ; minimization of hazardous waste (press filters and centrifuging) ; phasing-out of PCB transformers ; use of durable packaging ; separate collection of cardboard / plastic and non-hazardous waste ; reduced wetness of paint sludge ; replacement of fluorescent tubes by others with longer lives ; reuse of waste, particularly pallets....
 
9.Improve waste management
 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.
