Environmental protection

A car manufacturer’s responsibility with regard to the environment calls for continuous optimisation of its production processes. Audi is therefore permanently researching more environmentally friendly methods.

• 

• Water catches on

  With the help of modern cleaning facilities, water-soluble paints and new sealing techniques, solvent emissions have been cut by two thirds in the last 10 years.

• 

• Recycling

  The majority of materials are supplied in reusable packaging. In addition, 95 percent of waste is now recycled. The metals cycle is completely closed.

• 

• Audi innovations

  The proportion of scrapped cars that is recycled is to be increased further by the year 2015. Audi has already received a series of awards for its unceasing efforts to achieve this goal.

• 

• Avoiding waste water

  Audi has a closed cycle for its water supply. The company’s goal is for effluent-free production. Audi is well on its way to reaching this: e.g. it has already achieved 95% in Ingolstadt.

• 

• Goal: Saving energy

  Audi uses light materials to cut fuel consumption. Production is optimised and the company’s energy-saving measures are supplemented by staff training courses.
