Toyota: Keeping Alabama Green

2014_TMMAL_Environmental_001_63228_2524_lowToyota Alabama proves that operating in the auto industry while staying green is perfectly doable. The Huntsville plant has received no less than five environmental awards this week, underlining its constant commitment to reduce its environmental footprint without impacting its workflow.

The EPA ENERGY STAR Challenge for Industry involves a reduction of the energy used onsite by up to 14%, for every single unit built on the plant, over the course of one year. Also, Toyota Alabama has managed to take home three Toyota North America Environmental Awards for its accomplishments revolving around smarter and greener water and energy management, correlated with a series of eco-friendly improvements implemented onsite. The Huntsville plant has received this prestigious award for eight years in a row. This time, Toyota Alabama has succeeded in saving the equivalent of 75 million bottles of water. Last but not least, the plant has also received the City of Huntsville Air Pollution Control Achievement Award for its efforts to save a significant amount of energy that would be enough to power 400 American households for an entire year.

The ENERGY STAR Partner of the Year – Sustained Excellence Award offered by EPA went to Toyota and 14 different plants, including the one based in Huntsville, for a clear determination in safeguarding the environment and helping the auto industry go green one step at a time through remarkable levels of energy efficiency. In this context, Toyota has reaffirmed itself as a eco-friendly player in this sector after winning the ENERGY STAR Partner of the Year – Sustained Excellence Award for the 10th consecutive year. In what the Toyota Alabama plant is concerned, ongoing teamwork is the secret behind the environmental achievements that have recently been recognized and awarded by EPA. The Huntsville plant has already given the green light to two eco-conscious, innovative projects. One of them revolves around end-of-life batteries o hybrid vehicles used as backup power solutions, while the other is based on rainwater harvesting for daily manufacturing processes.
