Environment

Environmental protection played a decisive role in the design, choice of materials and manufacturing of your new Audi. Particular importance was attached to the following points:

Design measures to enable economical recycling

• Joints allowing easy disassembly of parts
• Simplified disassembly thanks to modular design
• Improved material sorting
• Identification of plastic and elastomer parts in accordance with ISO 1043, ISO 11469 and ISO 1629

Choice of materials

• Maximum use of recyclable materials
• Use of plastics of the same type within a production group
• Use of recycled materials
• Reduction of plastic emissions (fogging)
• Air conditioning with CFC-free refrigerant

Legal ban on the use of:

• Cadmium
• Asbestos
• Lead
• Mercury
• Chromium VI

Manufacturing

• Use of recycled materials in the production of plastic parts
• No solvents for cavity protection
• Solvent-free wax coating for transport
• Use of solvent-free adhesives
• No CFCs used in manufacturing
• Maximum use of waste for energy production and secondary materials.
• Reduction of waste water
• Use of heat recovery units
• Use of water-based paints
