1.ACI Le Mans
 The site has cut its water consumption by 66 % since 1998 through a number of initiatives including : the recycling of used machining or detergent baths by vacuum evaporation or centrifugation ; reusing the water recycled in this way for a number of industrial processes ; increasing the service life of treatment baths....
 
2.Maubeuge (MCA)
 The Maubeuge plant has been using a system since October 1999. This system supplies water to the industrial processes, generating a saving of 123 012 m3 of drinking water in 2007. The installation of water softeners on the cooling towers, and numerous continuous progress actions in the workshops have reduced water consumption from 4.0 m3 / vehicle in 1997 to 1.8 m3 / vehicle in 2007....
 
3.Dacia (Roumania)
 Since its acquisition by Renault and despite a 100 % increase in production, the site has steadily reduced its water consumption through a number of initiatives : better management of water consumption in industrial processes ; renovation of washroom facilities ; mapping of leaks ; refurbishment of networks and metering equipment ; part upgrade of the drinking water system ; replacement of a cooling tower....
 
4.Séville (Spain)
 Water consumption figures reflect an increase in activity. Eight years ago, the plant put in place a water consumption management plan. As part of new gearbox projects, with a view to optimizing consumption, the plant plans to re-use water from industrial processes (closed systems) and to separate the networks by providing a specific stormwater system....
 
5.Valladolid Engines (Espagne)
 The diluted solution is used in the plant's industrial processes....
 
6.Bursa - OYAK
 An in-depth study has been carried out to identify the necessary reinforcements with, in particular, a campaign to attach all industrial process equipment to the floor or the structure of the building....
 
7.Protect water resources
 Water consumptionRenault is taking action in three areas, to : recycle water : by applying a closed-flow configuration to cooling systems, through the recovery of stormwater (Maubeuge and Guyancourt in France) improve efficiency : by systematically tracking down leaks and using industrial processes that are water-efficient training personnel to change their behavior Read about the stormwater recycling system set up by the site in France..
 
8.Improve waste management
 Renault is seeking to reduce metal offcuts from body panels by optimizing the cutting process ; reduce packaging waste ; improve the application of paint to limit paint sludge ; phase out the use of high-risk substances in industrial processes.... To cut waste quantities at source, Renault has integrated targets in the design of logistics resources and is seeking to make industrial processes more efficient....
 
9.Moscou - AVTOFRAMOS
 This water is used directly for human consumption and some industrial processes (cooling circuits for welding machines, some steps in the surface treatment process)....
 
10.Natural Resources
 Production phase Reducing water consumption is a key objective in the environmental programs set up by each production site ISO 14001. A wide range of initiatives have been introduced for this purpose : staff training ; network inspection ; review of industrial processes ; using new technology : rain water recovery and the treatment of process water....
