Sustainable productionA 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: Resource-saving recycling procedures are already applied, while painting techniques use a minimum of solvents. Almost 50% of goods and up to 65% of new vehicles are now transported by rail. | Related linksNo related links are available for this topic. |
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 vaste 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. | |
