To reduce the amount of waste generated during the production stage, Infiniti promotes activities based on reducing, reusing and recycling materials whenever possible.
Our midterm environmental action plan defines our goals in this area. We achieved a 100% recycling rate for our operations in Japan – an industry best level, globally. In Japan, during fiscal year 2006, we hit our 100% target at the Tochigi Plant - home of Infiniti production – and the Zama Operations Centre.
The Tochigi plant has ISO14001 accreditation, the international standard for environmental management system for vehicle production.
They set up improvement objectives to control emissions into the air, water and soil, manage waste, use energy efficiently, and continually improve environmental performance.
