Recycling end-of-life vehicles
Volkswagen has already made provision for you to recycle your vehicle in an environmentally
responsible manner. The extensive recycling systems 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.
Return of end-of-life vehicles is free of charge, provided that national legislation is complied with.
Further information on return and recycling of end-of-life vehicles is available from a Volkswagen
dealership.
Scrapping
The relevant safety requirements must be observed when the vehicle or its individual components,
e.g. from the airbag system and belt tensioners, are scrapped. Qualified workshops are familiar with
these regulations.
