Recyclability of materials

Recyclability of materials

The solution to the problem of recycling plastic materials stems from the design stage. The possibility of reusing the material for future components should be evaluated at this stage.

Currently when the vehicle reaches the end of its life only the metal parts are recoverd and reused to produce new steel and new aluminium castings.

All the rest of the vehicle, corresponding to about 25% in weight, is abandoned or dumped.

An enormous amount of materials and energy is therefore wasted in addition to contributing to the size of the problem of disposing of solid waste.
