EUROMASTER is especially sensitive to environmental issues and has created a true “green” charter. This charter includes working methods which respect the environment and a real desire to recycle waste.

Also, working hand in hand with a team of specialists, each material has been identified in comparison to the environmental risk it represents. Storage, collecting, elimination or recycling solutions have been created and put into place.

• Tyres: on-site storage before being collected and transported towards specialised sorting centres, where they are recycled so that they can have a second life.
  They can either be:
  - remould
  - burnt as replacement fuel in a cements works
  - ground into powder to be used afterwards in the manufacture of various surface-covering operations (sports fields, motorway capping layers)
  
• Oils: after storage in special  barrels, the oil is regenerated or burnt in accredited energy production establishments.
  
• Oil and fuel filters: The metallic part of the filter is melted down to be re-used whilst the plastic or paper elements are used as replacement fuel.
  
• Cans and barrels: after storage, plastic cans are burnt in accredited establishments whilst the metallic barrels are grounded.
  
• Brake pads and brake discs, shock absorbers, exhaust pipes and wheels: after storage, they are then collected, and these different elements are upgraded in metallurgy companies.
  
• Batteries: the lead is melted and is used for the manufacture of other batteries, the acid is neutralised whilst the plastic is re-used for the manufacture of plastic parts.

Naturally, all the EUROMASTER service centres have special waterproof and protected bins for the storage of each element. The collection as well as the sorting, is carried out by companies specialised in recycling with wide experience in the protection of the environment.
