Recycling End-of-Life Vehicles

Recovery of Bumpers and Use of Valuable Oil Resources

Full Cooperation with Mazda Dealerships and Parts Dealers

Mazda collects bumpers removed from vehicles for repair or replacement from its dealerships all around Japan, and recycles them into bumpers for new vehicles and other items.

This initiative involves full cooperation with Mazda Group dealerships and parts dealers. In FY2006, 58,651 bumpers were recovered, yielding 210 tons of recycled plastic materials for recycling. Please see "Development: Promoting Vehicle Recycling (Development Stage)" for more details on recycling technologies.

Use of Recycled Parts

Since 1996, Mazda has been collecting and renovating engines and automatic transmissions that have been replaced during repair work and selling them as rebuilt components.

Moreover, in tie-ups with recycled parts suppliers, parts sales companies have been using the Internet for sale of such parts for reuse (second-hand).
