ENVIRONMENTAL CONCERN
NISSAN GREEN PROGRAM
Today, the efforts made by NISSAN to fulfil our
responsibilities to protect and sustain the environ-
ment are far-reaching. Within NISSAN, we promote
the highest levels of practice in every region and in
every area of operations.
COMPLIANCE AT EVERY STEP
NISSAN focuses on ensuring that end of life vehicle
components are reused, recycled or recovered as
thermal energy, and guarantees compliance with EU
legislation (the End of Life Vehicle Directive).
WE BUILD OUR VEHICLES WITH
RECYCLING IN MIND
Reducing landfill waste, emissions, conserving natu-
ral resources, and enhancing recycling activities are
emphasised daily in our manufacturing, sales and
service operations and in the disposal of end of life
vehicles (ELV).
Design phase
To reduce environmental impact we have developed
your NISSAN vehicle to be 95% recyclable. We
mark the components to facilitate dismantling, recy-
cling and to reduce hazardous substances. We
carefully verify and control substances of concern.
We have already reduced to a minimum the cad-
mium, mercury and lead in your NISSAN vehicle.
NISSAN includes recycled material in your vehicle
and looks for opportunities to increase the percent-
age of recycled materials used.
PETROL STATION INFORMATION ENVIRONMENT (End of Life
Vehicles)

Have your car serviced regularly
Regular service allows you to run your vehicle in
optimal condition and with the best fuel efficiency.
Have your vehicle serviced by your NISSAN dealer
or a qualified workshop to ensure that it is main-
tained to its original standard.
