Environment; Protecting The Environment - Renault Captur Driver's Handbook Manual

ENVIRONMENT

Your vehicle has been designed with
respect for the environment in mind for
its entire service life: during production,
use and at the end of its life.
This commitment is illustrated by the of
the manufacturer eco² signature.
Manufacturer
Your vehicle has been manufactured at
a factory which complies with a policy
to reduce the environmental impact
on the surrounding areas (reduction of
water and energy consumption, visual
and noise pollution, atmospheric emis-
sions and waste water; sorting and reu-
sing waste).
2.14
Emissions
Our vehicles are equipped with a par-
ticle filter system including a catalytic
converter, an oxygen sensor and an
active carbon filter (the latter prevents
vapour from the fuel tank being re-
leased into the open air).

contribution towards

– Worn parts replaced in the course of
routine vehicle maintenance (vehicle
battery, oil filter, air filter, batteries,
etc.) and oil containers (empty or
filled with used oil) must be disposed
of through specialist organisations.
– At the end of the vehicle's service
life, it should be sent to approved
centres to ensure that it is recycled.
– In all cases, comply with local legis-
lation.
Recycling
Your vehicle is approximately 85% re-
cyclable and 95% recoverable depen-
ding on variants.
To achieve these objectives, many of
the vehicle components have been de-
signed to enable them to be recycled.
The materials and structures have
been carefully designed to allow these
components to be easily removed and
reprocessed by specialist companies.
In order to preserve raw material re-
sources, this vehicle incorporates nu-
merous parts made from recycled plas-
tics or renewable materials (vegetable
or animal-derived materials such as
cotton or wool).
