GM announced in 2008 it would convert half of its major manufacturing facilities worldwide to landfill free operation by the end of this year.
Currently, 62 GM plants operate at a "zero landfill" status, with 97 percent of materials recycled or reused, and about three percent converted into energy at waste-to-energy facilities.
The company recycles many materials like steel, alloy, paper, and cardboard, that are used again, or are manufactured into a secondary product.
GM is the only automotive company to be inducted into the U.S. EPA WasteWise Hall of Fame
