Zero is important at Yokohama Tire Manufacturing Virginia, LLC, especially when it comes to waste. The Salem, Virginia facility has become the latest Yokohama manufacturing plant to be a zero landfill operation.
According to Neil Dalton, Yokohama Corporation of North America director of environmental health and safety, “all waste generated at YTMV now goes to non-landfill options such as recycling, reuse or energy recovery.”
To successfully achieve zero-waste-to-landfill status, YTMV had strategically put in processes and practices that deliberately and significantly reduced waste.
