What is Honda (UK)s approach to the environment and recycling?
Honda’s approach is to look to reduce the environmental impact of our activities at each stage of our operations. This includes a comprehensive approach to recycling and re-using material. This is typified by the approach of our manufacturing sites where we are aiming to totally remove any waste being sent to landfill as a result of our manufacturing activities. This has been achieved in Japan where our 7 automobile factories produce no waste from the manufacturing process. All waste is either re-used or recycled. Our manufacturing plant in Swindon is making similar progress and has reduced the amount of waste sent to landfill from 60kg a vehicle 10 years ago to 5.3kg at present. This will be reduced to zero by 2010.
