Renault has just launched a new initiative that will ensure a relatively small environmental impact during production, use and disposal. The cars will be labeled eco² and they will be appearing in all of Renault's classes.

In order to be eco² compliant, the vehicle has to be produced in a factory that is ISO 1400-certified (basically ensuring continuous decrease in environmental impacts.) The cars have to be extremely fuel efficient producing less than 140g of carbon per kilometer. And 5% of the plastics in the car must be recyclable.

It seems to me like they could have done a bit better on that last number. However, by recognizing every part of their vehicle's life cycle with this new standard, Renault really is going further than any other automobile company.
