Green Ford

A recent article features Ford's green efforts for global sustainability. One of their initiatives is to increase recyclability and remanufacturability of their vehicles. A good example on the remanufacturing's role in sustainability (setting aside its role in overall profitability).

From the article;
"Ford Escape and Focus Are Over 80 Percent Recyclable – Dismantlers and shredders process more than 94 percent of all salvaged vehicles. They collect parts and materials for reuse, remanufacturing and recycling. Usually, 75 percent of an automobile’s content is recycled – including steel, iron, aluminum, copper and other non-ferrous metals. The Ford Escape and Focus exceed the norm, being over 80 percent recyclable. "
