Subaru does their bit for the planet!

Japanese Automotive brand Subaru have been extremely competent in their aims in lowering their environmental footprint, not only building vehicles with lowered CO2 emissions, but also recycling almost all of their waste and using it for various causes, with a ‘Zero Landfill’ policy.

In the USA, Subaru of Indiana Automotive, Inc. became the first automotive engineering Centre to take on this challenge back in 2004, which has almost definitely set the pace for many other Subaru plants over the US. It currently makes use of 99.3% of its products including wood and glass and sends the remaining percentage to Indianapolis to be burnt and this is converted into steam power for the city. It has been so successful that current statistics show the average household contributes more to the landfill in a year then the Indianapolis plant does!

The Indiana Subaru Centre that produces such new Subaru cars as the Subaru Legacy and the Subaru Forester is aiming to follow suit and increase environmental policies and integrate themselves into the business community to increase productivity. Environmental policies seem to be doing extremely well at Subaru, producing even more greener models every year which really is a comforting thought, preserving our environment for our future generations.

I can only hope that other Car manufacturers take heed and help to increase these small but fundamental changes…
