Easy removal of airbags and seatbelt tensioners
Airbags and seatbelt tensioners are classified as hazardous waste. You are not allowed to store them, transport them, or process them yourself. However, in practice, they often remain where they are, simply because it is unclear what to do with them. We solve that problem for you.
AirbagRecycling is fully certified for the dismantling, ignition, and recycling of airbags, seatbelt tensioners, and other pyrotechnic components. Quickly arranged, safely executed, and neatly registered. So you don’t have to worry about a thing.
A bit of history
Since the introduction of airbags in the 1990s, we have been focused on one question: how can these systems be processed responsibly and without risk to people or the environment?
Over the years, we have continuously developed our processes. The result is a working method in which hazardous components are safely neutralized and raw materials are reused as much as possible.

Questions about recycling your airbag or seatbelt pretensioner?
We are ready to answer all your questions! These are the most frequently asked questions we hear from our customers on a regular basis.
Each airbag and seatbelt pretensioner has a unique serial number with which they are registered. When an airbag or seatbelt pretensioner is destroyed, it is recorded through this code and the automaker also knows that the airbags are out of the running. This also has to do with the pyrotechnical components contained in the airbag. By destroying airbags, there is no chance that they can be used for wrong purposes.
No, an airbag should never just be offered at an environmental site. This is because there are pyrotechnic components present in the airbag that can be dangerous if not handled properly. In most cases, you should deliver airbags and related parts to an authorized recycling company such as Airbagrecycling.
Yes, there is a specific license that companies must have to process airbags and seatbelt pretensioners. This is called the WABO permit. Airbagrecycling has this license and also has VIHB certification, which allows them to transport airbags and other pyrotechnic parts.
