The increasing number of vehicles being disposed of yearly emphasises the importance of recycling the components contained in these vehicles without harming the environment.
One of the most important preconditions for making recycling economically viable is the use of strictly graded materials. This ensures consistent quality in the plastic components produced from used vehicles/component in the future. Opel has conformed to this requirement for several years and in 1979 was the first German car manufacturer to mark all plastic components with the internationally standardised codes for the relevant plastic types. Plastic parts that can be used for recycling can be collected separately according to their material codes.
