Mazda not only recycles used parts, but also collects damaged bumpers removed for replacement from dealers nationwide and recycles them into parts such as bumpers for new vehicles.
The entire Mazda Group, including dealers and parts sales companies, is jointly involved in this. As a result, in FY2008 a total of 85,044 damaged bumpers (approximately 270 tons) were collected and recycled as plastic material.

Mazda collects engines and transmissions removed for replacement when vehicles are repaired, replaces or repairs worn-out components, and sells them as rebuilt parts. In FY2008, 2,100 engines and 2,400 transmissions were sold as rebuilt parts.
The Mazda Group is also cooperating with recycled parts suppliers to sell parts for reuse.
