Honda is committed to achieving zero environmental impact by 2050. The company is pursuing resource circulation by designing products for longevity, recyclability, and disassembly.
Honda has long been a leader in sustainability in the global automotive industry. The carmaker introduced the CVCC engine in the early 1970s to cut smog-forming emissions, and it produced the first battery-electric vehicles in the 1990s and hydrogen fuel cell-electric vehicles in the early 2000s, both of which used innovative technologies to reduce or eliminate tailpipe emissions of vehicles in use.
As part of its ambitious goal of achieving zero environmental impact of its products and operations by 2050, Honda is pursuing resource circulation, working to recapture products at the end of their life and recycle or reuse 100% of the materials to create new products. Creating a circular society supports the company’s goals of achieving carbon neutrality, 100% clean energy use, and 100% resource circulation. Achieving resource circulation requires major innovations in the design and end-of-life recovery of its products and in the procurement of parts, goods, and services to reduce its environmental impact.At the heart of Honda’s resource circulation efforts is product design. Here, the company views sustainability holistically, selecting materials and creating design elements that prioritize longevity and recyclability. This is especially critical, as the initial design phase determines 80% of a product’s environmental impact. “Honda’s commitment to sustainable materials isn’t just about using recycled plastics and other reusable materials; it’s about rethinking the entire product life cycle,” says Mathew Daniel, indirect procurement department lead at Honda. “By designing for disassembly and maintainability , we envision everything we purchase, from parts for our vehicles to forklifts used in our factories, being reused or recycled, reducing our environmental footprint and generating new business value.”Honda is exploring the entire scope of its corporate purchasing to maximize the useful life of the goods it buys while avoiding unnecessary purchase
