Environmental Impact Information

Recycled Materials:

Any of the materials listed in 'Plastic Component and Trim Materials' may be recycled provided that they are not contaminated by other incompatible plastics or metals. For instance, the air conditioning unit case, manufactured from PP (polypropylene), must be separated from the heater matrix, evaporator, control devices (electronic and mechanical) and all fixings before it can be considered for recycling.

After disassembly, the case must be placed for disposal only with materials of the same generic type.

The bumper cover assemblies have side armatures (non-serviceable items) riveted to them; because they are dissimilar materials the armatures and fixings must be removed prior to recycling.

In the bumper cover intake aperture there is a cosmetic 'black-out' piece; a similar component may be found on the fog lamp blanks (where fitted). These items should be separated from the major component for recycling.

Plastic component and trim materials:





This table, in conjunction with the Images in 'Component Location' will enable rapid identification of the particular material of any major plastic part.
Not all plastic components are nominated, only those suitable for economic reclamation.
