Ford Motor Co., the second-largest U.S. automaker, said that it plans to reduce the amount of waste sent to landfills for each vehicle that it builds by 41 percent as part of a five-year plan through 2016.
Ford plans to reduce waste generated per vehicle globally to 13.4 pounds (6.1 kilograms) per vehicle, from 22.7 pounds in 2011, the Dearborn, Michigan-based company said in an e-mailed statement. Ford pledged separately in June that it would reduce energy use in its factories by 25 percent in the same period.
