Recycling
materials
Like
all
new
PEUGEOT
models,
your 406
Coupe
has
been
designed
in carefully
selected,
easily recyclable
materials.
The
reason:
to comply
as
from
now with
the
framework agreement
restricting
by 2002 the
share
of
final waste to
15%
by weight
of
the
vehicle,
with an
upper
limit
of 200
kg
(440Ibs).
Your 406
is
therefore
85%
recyclable.
Asbestos,
cadmium
and
CFC
agents have
been
eliminated
from
its production.
All
the
plastic
parts are marked
and
are easily
dismantled
individually.
In
order
to
make the
recycling process
easier
the assemblies have
been
standardised
as
much
as possible and
a limited range
of
materials has
been
used:
the majority of the
plastic
materials
used
are
thermoplastics
which
can
be recycled
by
melting,
granulation
or crushing
for
subse-
quent
automobile application.
The metals are
100%
recoverable and
recy-
clable!
This applies
in particular
to the high-
value metals
such
as aluminium,
platinum
and
rhodium.
The windows
(Securit
or Triplex)
can
be
easily
dismantled
and
collected
for
processing
by
glass works.
The
rubber of
the tyres
and
the seals no
longer poses any
recycling problem
and
can
be
crushed
to produce reusable
granules.
