Renault Clio: Environment
Your vehicle has been designed with respect for the environment in mind for its entire service life: during production, use and at the end of its life.
This commitment is illustrated by the of the manufacturer eco² signature.
Manufacture
Your vehicle has been manufactured at a factory which complies with a policy to reduce the environmental impact on the surrounding areas (reduction of water and energy consumption, visual and noise pollution, atmospheric emissions and waste water; sorting and reusing waste).
Emissions
Your vehicle has been designed to emit fewer greenhouse gases (CO2) while in use, and therefore to consume less fuel (eg. 140 g/km, equivalent to 5.3 l/100 km for a diesel vehicle).
Our vehicles are also equipped with a particle filter system including a catalytic converter, an oxygen sensor and an active carbon filter (the latter prevents vapour from the fuel tank being released into the open air).
For certain diesel vehicles, this system also has a particle filter to reduce the volume of soot particles emitted.

- Worn parts replaced in the course of routine vehicle maintenance (vehicle battery, oil filter, air filter, batteries, etc.) and oil containers (empty or filled with used oil) must be disposed of through specialist organisations.
- At the end of the vehicle’s service life, it should be sent to approved centres to ensure that it is recycled.
- In all cases, comply with local legislation.
Recycling
Your vehicle is 85% recyclable and 95% recoverable.
To achieve these objectives, many of the vehicle components have been designed to enable them to be recycled.
The materials and structures have been carefully designed to allow these components to be easily removed and reprocessed by specialist companies.
In order to preserve raw material resources, this vehicle incorporates numerous parts made from recycled plastics or renewable materials (vegetable or animal-derived materials such as cotton or wool).
