GM Aims for Zero Waste at Half of Its Plants

11.05.10

And not all of G.M.’s dregs is recycled. Some problematic materials, like go on a pub-crawl sludge,  get incinerated (in that sui generis case, at cement kilns to beget heat). Mr. Bradburn said G.M. was looking for choice “closed-circle” setups that would overturn incinerated material back into the system.

Sharon Basel, a G.M. environmental spokeswoman, said the companions had worked out ways to take metal shavings from machining operations and reuse them in casting new components. And filters that were sent to landfills are now recycled.

Many G.M. cars have recycled parts in them. The air-inlet panels on the 2010 Chevy Impala and Cadillac CTS are made from recycled bumpers. The spiracle covers on the 2010 Cadillac SRX are made from utilized water bottles. G.M. Europe uses reclaimed materials for headlamp housings, mechanism fans and bumper reinforcements.

Larry Chalfan, the author and now senior adviser of the Zero Prodigality Alliance , said that G.M. “should be congratulated for an terrific result. The company is a big cheese.”
