Eleven more GM facilities say no to landfills
The landfill-free, zero-waste movement continues in the auto industry.
General Motors is announcing Thursday that 11 more of its facilities have achieved landfill-free status, giving it a total of 122 around the world.
"Our landfill-free movement is part of our culture of continuous improvement embraced by teams globally," said Jim DeLuca, GM executive vice president of global manufacturing in a statement. "Not only does it make our operations more efficient and help conserve vital resources, but we're able to reinvest the money we get from recycling into future vehicles for our customers."
Of the 11, three are in the U.S. -- all in Michigan. The rest are in Canada, Colombia, Brazil, Spain and China.
