Caring for the environment is one of Volvo’s core values, along with quality
and safety.
This brochure is for all those who work with dismantling and scrapping of a
complete machine, both service workshops as well as dismantling companies and recycling companies. It can also be used for service work during
the machine’s lifetime, as a guide for handling used products that are
replaced during repairs and service.
The purpose is to facilitate correct handling of hazardous waste or other
equipment and components that may cause personal injury and environmental damage. It also serves as a material map to see which materials are
included in the product.
The brochure does not include any instructions for recycling technicians
since these will change with time, and an instruction from today may prove
to be completely different in the future. There is also national legislation and
a variety of local regulations that differ significantly.
The information in the brochure is developed for Volvo L60F, L70F, L90F,
L110F, and L120F, and shall not be used in any way for other products.
Information and data included in the brochure are valid at the time of publication. We reserve the right to change specifications and equipment without prior notice.
This recycling manual is for a so-called ’basic machine’. When the machine
is purchased, a variety of optional equipment may be selected and all of
these are not included or described in this manual.
Overall perspective
Volvo Construction Equipment’s overall perspective on how environmental
aspects shall be fulfilled means that the company’s products are regarded
in a much greater context:
• Society works for common environmental legislation and facilitates good
work planning and provides systems for recycling.
• Volvo and its sub-suppliers replace materials that have negative impact
on man and the environment, and improve use of products and manufacturing methods.
• Dealers make sure that the customers get the right machines that are exactly adapted to their applications.
• Operators and owners handle the machines correctly with regards to
use, service, and maintenance.
• Recycling is performed in a manner that is safe to both man and the environment. Scrapping and dismantling take place in a way that enables
maximized reuse or recycling of the machine.
Safety

Safety
Safety
Volvo Construction Equipment AB assumes that work with our machines
follows the safety and work instructions included in the Service manual and
Operator’s manual for the model in question.
Dismantling and recycling of machines shall be performed by personnel
with sufficient knowledge, and in a professional manner in order to avoid
personal injury and environmental damage.
If in effect, national legislation governing dismantling of machines is the primary legislation to be followed. This Recycling manual is only a supplement
to the valid Service manual and Operator’s manual for Volvo L60F, L70F,
L90F, L110F, and L120F.

Work and recycling
A Volvo wheel loader consists of metals to approx. 80%. In general, metals
are suitable for recycling. However, in certain cases the components’
design and installation may make recycling impossible, both practically and
economically, despite the included materials themselves being recyclable.
The recycling process has 5 readily identifiable steps, where one should
strive to get the biggest fractions of the machine’s material as high up as
possible on the recycling steps.

Main work process when dismantling Volvo wheel loaders
This work process should be followed for dismantling work to proceed in
an optimal way:
1 Identify the machine by reading signs and plates as well as the instruc-
tions in the manual.
2 Check governing regulations/legislation for recycling and producer re-
sponsibility. Also check if there are special safety aspects for dismantling.
3 Decontaminate the machine from fluids and specially marked compo-
nents that have to be removed and sorted out for special handling.
4 Dismantle the machine in a safe and environmentally correct manner.
5 Sort the dismantled parts and components in fractions for recycling.
Sorting

Sorting
Sorting
There is a number of thought fractions in which to sort the material, examples of these are found below. Handling of these fractions is governed by
national legislation and local regulations, which shall be followed.
• Materials and components that can be reused as components in old
and/or new machines. These may be in need of repairs or upgrades in
order to meet quality requirements. For example, this may be engine, axles, transmission, and hydraulic cylinders.
• Materials that can be material-recycled with or without loss of quality. Examples of material recycling without loss of quality are metals and certain
plastics. Loss of quality refers to, e.g., plastics that only can be given a
dark colour when material-recycled.
• Materials for energy extraction are, among others, unsorted plastics and
oils.
• Materials that have to be deposited mainly come from fragmentation and
unsorted materials.
Producer responsibility
A number of the machine’s components are governed by the principle of
producer responsibility, which means that they shall be taken care of
according to special instructions. These instructions may vary from one
country to another. If you do not know what this includes or are unsure
about applicable governing regulations, contact your Volvo dealer or Volvo
directly.

This manual is only valid for the stated models; Volvo L60F, L70F, L90F,
L110F, and L120F, see illustration below for identification marking. The
machines have been manufactured in Sweden by Volvo Construction
Equipment AB from the year 2007. The primary colour is yellow.

1 Machine PIN, Product Identification Number (stamped on right side).
2 Product plate including, among other things, machine type and PIN. Ad-

Marking – Standard
A marking system is used where all plastic parts are marked with a material
code, making the materials easy to identify. Many materials can be granulated and reused, while other plastics are used for energy extraction by
incineration. Certain plastics must be taken care of in a special way or
destroyed, through some form of pre-treatment.
Volvo standards applicable to these machines are:
• Std 103-0002 Material identification and marking of components made
of plastic or elastic material
• Std 5052,41 Material identification and marking of plastic parts
• Std 5052,411 Symbols and abbreviations
• Std 5052,412 Symbols for plastic containers
The following few examples show what the marking may look like:
>ABS<Part consisting of one material, in this case ABS-plastic.
>ABS+PC<Part consisting of a mix of two materials.
>PVC,PUR,ABS<Part consisting of 3 materials where PVD is the visible (coating) and PUR with inclusion of ABS. ABS is biggest by weight (under-
lined).
>PP – MD30<Part containing reinforcing or filler material with 30 percent by weight.

For more complicated mixtures, see Std 103-0002.
Contact your Volvo dealer or Volvo directly to obtain these standards.

The machines have 4-6 so-called ECUs (Electronic Control Unit), and the
number of ECUs depends on what equipment is installed on the machine.
One is on the engine, one or two on the back wall in the cab, one in the
instrument panel, and one or two on the right side in the cab. In the cab
there are also two circuit boards, containing a number of relays and fuses.
One circuit board is located on the back wall and the other one is on the
right front pillar.
