Recycling end-of-life vehicles
Volkswagen has already made provision for you to recycle your vehicle in an environmentally responsible manner. The recycling system operating in many European countries will take back your vehicle at the end of its useful life. Once the vehicle has been recycled, a certificate of destruction will be issued to show that the vehicle has been disposed of correctly.
End-of-life vehicles are recycled free of charge, provided that national legislation is complied with.
Further information on the recycling of end-of-life vehicles can be found at a Volkswagen dealership.
Scrapping
The relevant safety requirements must be observed when the vehicle or components of the airbag and the belt tensioners are scrapped. Qualified workshops are familiar with these requirements.
