Volkswagen Touran Owners Manual: Recycling and scrapping end-of-life vehicles

First read and observe the introductory information and safety warnings 

Recycling of end-of-life vehicles

Volkswagen has already made provision for the time when you choose to have your vehicle recycled in an environmentally-friendly manner. A recycling system which operates in many European countries will take back a vehicle when the time comes. When the vehicle has been recycled, a certificate of destruction will be issued to show the vehicle has been disposed of properly.

End-of-life vehicles are recycled free of charge, provided 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.
