From the word go, the environment has always been an important issue for us. Protecting the environment, energy efficiency and preserving natural resources are all key considerations. Our policy follows strict Daimler AG environmental guidelines. The story starts with smart development, runs through production in smartville and ends in the recycling of many smart components.
Development
At smart, we’re always looking at alternative materials and manufacturing concepts. That way we can find the solutions that work for us and for the environment.
Production
smart's production processes have been carefully designed to be kinder to the environment than conventional techniques
Recycling
smarts are built from pre-assembled modules. It's this modular system that makes dismantling the cars much simpler.
Environmental management
smart has its own environmental management system. This lays out all the responsibilities and processes needed to implement our environmental policy.
