The Canadian Champion, Friday, November 14, 2008 -B19 lndustry leaderg environment" from RECYCLING on page B18 tyrofoamn would be an expensive venture, but these materials are returned overseas in containers that would otherwuse go empty Overall, this program has returned 1,930 tons of packaging to vendors and suppli- ers, including styrofoam, cardboard, and plastic trays. The engine shop is chock-a-block witb green shipping solutions. Some parts are transported in bard plastic bins, whicb requires only a reprnted label witb eacb shipment. Other parts no longer use large corrugated boxes, but are tacked on skids with imple cardboard divders. Tbe benefits are twofold: reduced packaging and easi- er retrieval, as associates no longer bave to reacb do*n rnto a box. Theres far more to SIAs environ- mental efforts, but in a rtutshell heres some of wbat was kept out of landfill in 2007: 13,142 tons of steel, 1,448 tons of cardboard and paper, 194 tons of plastics and foams, 20 tons of pop cans and bottles and 10 tons of sol- vent-soaked rags. Tbe rags are generated when wip- ing the plastic bumpers before paint- intg. Afterwards, tbey are collected in 55 gallon steel drums. irWben we get about 35 drums we have a company, Mobile Fluid Recovery come in and process the rags for us," said Coogan. "Tbey put the rags in a centrifuge antd spin the solvent out of tbe rags. The olvent is collected in a drum and recycled on site." She adds that the dry polyester rags can be processed down to, their original state, extruded tbrougb a machine and then made into plastic wheel well covers. By 2001, associates were recycling 89 per cent of materials; by 2005, tbat figure had climbed to 99 per cent. In 2006, SIA received tbe Governors Award for Environmental Excellence, among numerous other accolades. Some large corporations - sucb as Proctor & Gamable and Frito Lay - have bencbmarked their environ- mental efforts against SIA. Some automakers, which Easterday will not divulge, have done so as well. As for the PZEV, Subaru now offers it for no added cost as the entry-level Legacy and mid-trim level Outback. The company is looking to gauge consumer interest and demand before considerng this option for al tbeir vehicles. Benefits are tailpipe emissions that are 90 per cent cleaner than a typical new vehicle, and zero evaporative emissions. In lact, the PZEV is 50 dlean that SIAVs emissions testing lab installed a separate analyzer because tbeir regular equipment lacked tbe sensitivity Al of this is accomplished with no penalty in borsepower, torque and driving dynamics. Will the PZEV be a bot seller? Time will tell, but it does offer a dlean alternative to more expensive hybrid tecbnology Producing green vebicles in green factories and al tbe wbile saving green - this illustrates that wbile Subaru may be a smaller player in the automotive landscape, in terms of environmental tewardsbip, it is an industry.leadeL 2004 iM YIEIIM i 2M 0CII M MIL T I 2W MUUEIE mmARAIZtMe12MsPt p i tAtercMis a he ae4 4 dr, auto, V, charctai gr metallic - gey 4 dr, auto, V8, wtie-gre leather fully loadedi 4r auto, 6yl, Re black leather aithtie toys' l m 1.
