A few examples to illustrate the above:

(1) Using lead-free paint

In our plants producing cars for the European, Japanese and North American markets, we no longer use paints that contain lead. We will stop using paint that contains lead in all of our plants.
We use lead-free paint on all the cars we sell in Europe.

(2) Using lead-free steel in fuel tanks

Instead of fuel tanks coated with lead or tin, we use lead-free tanks in the cars we produce.

Dismantling information

Suzuki provides dismantling information for end-of-life cars on IDIS-en (International Dismantling Information System).

IDIS contains dismantling information for all of our models.

The software makes it possible to simulate dismantling on a computer, and to identify recyclable, metal-free parts.

The software is available on CD/DVD-ROM.

The IDIS CD/DVD-ROM contains the following comprehensive information:
•    pre-treatment (liquids, batteries, etc.)
•    spare part characteristics (material, weight, etc.)
•    spare part position
•    information on tools for dismantling
•    additional information (fixings, pyrotechnics, etc.)
