Aluminium Recycling
Through partnerships with our aluminium product manufacturers, aluminium offcuts from the press shops can be used to make the opening panels of new vehicles, such as Mégane E-Tech Electric. Working through the Future Is NEUTRAL and its subsidiaries – Indra and Gaia – we are also able to reuse aluminium from end-of-life vehicles or bodywork parts from garages.
Textile recycling
We began using 100% recycled textile fibres from seatbelt offcuts and plastic bottles on ZOE in 2019. Today New Scenic E-Tech Electric includes these textiles on the Techno and Esprit Alpine trim levels.
Plastic recycling
Through Gaia, a subsidiary of The Future Is NEUTRAL, Renault Group is able to recover polypropylene from end-of-life vehicle bumpers to manufacture the plastic used in bumpers and wing trim, on the outside, and in dashboards, on the inside. Mobilize Duo and Bento include 60% of recycled plastic on the outside, of which half from end-of-life vehicles.
