“From Cradle to Cradle”
Pursuing further recycling possibilities |
|
| Presently in Japan, approximately 5 million vehicles
are annually wasted as end-of-life vehicles, of which approximately 4 million
are disposed of within the country and 75-80% of them are recycled in terms
of weight. In recent years, the remaining 20-25% of shredder residues have become
a problem in the lack of landfill sites and in the conversion to a recycling-based
society, and people are increasingly demanding the proper disposal of these
residues. |
|
| To solve this problem, the End-of-Life Vehicle Recycling
Law was enacted in 2002. |
|
| Under these circumstances, Honda is continuing to implement
aggressive measures to minimize the use of substances with environmental impacts
and the amount of landfill waste, and promote the recycling of resources at
every stage of its products’ lifecycles, including development, production,
use, and waste. |
