Honda North America Says 10 Plants Are Waste Free, Including Three Metalcasters
本田（北美）称十个工厂做到零废物排放，包括三个铸造厂 Car maker Honda announced it is sending zero waste to
landfills from 10 of its 14 manufacturing facilities in North America, including three metalcasting plants. Te company said its engine component casting facilities
in Anna, Ohio, U.S., Lincoln, Ala., U.S., and Alliston, Ontario, Canada, are reusing virtually all leftover sand from aluminum and ferrous metalcasting operations. In FY2010, the three plants recycled a total of 9,400 tons of sand, which is used as mulch and landscaping material and in concrete products. According to the company, Honda Manufacturing of Alabama in Lincoln became the first zero-waste-to-landfill auto plant in North America at the outset of production in 2001, setting off a trend within the company. Waste sent to landfills has been reduced at North Ameri-
can Honda auto plants from 62.8 pounds for every automo- bile produced in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2001, to an estimated 1.8 pounds per automobile in the current fiscal year. “Tis is an important achievement and a tremendous re-
flection on the commitment and continuous effort of Honda associates throughout our company over the past 10 years to reduce waste from Honda’s production operations,” said Karen Heyob, manager at Honda of America Manufactur- ing Inc., who is responsible for Honda’s green factory initiatives in North America. “Tis is an even more significant achieve- ment when you consider that we also produce in North America the engines and transmissions that power our products.” ■

汽车制造商本田宣布它在北美的14个制造厂中的10 个实现了零废物填埋，包括三个铸造厂。 该公司称在阿拉巴马州Lincoln、俄亥俄州Anna和加 拿大安大略省Alliston的发动机部件铸造厂铝合金和黑 色金属铸造部门几乎重用所有的剩余砂子。在2010年财 年，这三个铸造厂循环利用9400t砂子，这将用作铺护 盖物、填埋材料和水泥产品。
根据公司说法，本田公司在阿拉巴马州Lincoln的制 造厂成为2001年开始的第一个零废物填埋的北美汽车 厂，这在公司内确立了一个榜样。
北美本田汽车厂在截止2001年3月31日的财政年度排 放的填埋废物已经从每辆车62.8磅降低到约1.8磅。 本田北美制造厂的经理Karen Heyob说： “这是本 田在过去十年来降低废物排放的一个重要进步和巨大潜 能和持续改进的体现。如果你再考虑一下我们在北美还 生产发动机和传动系统， 这种贡献将更为可观。” Karen Heyob是本田绿色 工厂项目的北美负责人。■
