HMC uses a variety of materials and energy throughout its 7 global manufacturing plants to produce vehicles and engines. Referencing the material balance chart below, HMC used 1.8 million CO2 tons of energy in 2005. In addition, 14.8 million tons was acquired from external sources, of which 1.2 million tons of water was recycled.
In 2005, a total of 659,328 tons of raw materials like steel coil and aluminum, and 2,191 tons of chemicals were used. From the use of these resources, a total of 2,314,179 automobiles and 2,902,235 engines were produced. On the other hand, 1,151 tons of air pollutants and 193 tons of water pollutants were produced. 231,448 tons of waste were produced of which roughly 72% or 166,505 tons of this total was recycled. HMC continues to move toward the creation of a sustainable future by minimizing the use of energy and industrial pollution.
