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....
 
2.Santa Isabel
 The following actions were implemented to minimize the volume of waste generated : efforts to raise awareness among all personnel ; a joint initiative organized with the service provider in charge of waste collection and treatment to quantify and recover waste in each sector, changes at the effluent treatment plant have reduced the quantity of sludge, reuse of packaging waste (cardboard boxes, wooden pallets and plastics), use of durable packaging, recovery of solvents used to clean paint facilities....
 
3.Busan - RSM
 The packaging waste increased because of the rising quantity of imported parts....
 
4.Flins
 Tonnages of Ordinary Industrial Waste (OIW) increased significantly in 1999. This increase can be attributed to growth in the spare parts business on the site (increase in packaging waste) and to growth in industrial activity in that year generating a proportional increase in metal waste....
 
5.Cacia (Portugal)
 Tonnage of Ordinary Industrial Waste (OIW) rose between 1998 and 2005. This was due to an increase in the site's assembly activity (increase in part packing and packaging waste)....
 
6.Novo Mesto - REVOZ (Slovenia)
 The quantity of packaging waste per vehicle was lowered by increasing use of durable packaging....
 
7.Bursa - OYAK
 An increase in OIW tonnage was observed in 2000. This can be attributed to the development of the on-site spare parts activity (increased part packaging waste).... However, in terms of volume per vehicle, OIW and HIW tonnages fell by 25 % between 2003 and 2007. As a result of the investment in durable packaging, the plant reduced tonnage of packaging waste by 46 % between 2003 and 2007....
 
8.Reducing packaging waste
 Reducing packaging wasteReducing packaging wasteEco Index. Concern for the environment is also written into the new L3P logistics program (high-performance workstation-programmed logistics), which aims specifically at optimizing workstations.... By using smaller and more durable packaging, it is also possible to limit operations with low added value, such as removing part protection and making repeated trips for parts. Reducing packaging waste (In kg per vehicle).
 
9.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.... Renault is improving sorting at source to increase the recovery of packaging waste. In all countries, the preferred solutions are burning, or incineration with energy recovery (particularly with the cement industry in other countries)....
 
10.Moscou - AVTOFRAMOS
 Actions were carried out in 2006 to reduce packaging waste (use of durable packaging) and to improve sorting at the waste source in order to improve packaging waste reclamation....
