Two more Yokohama plants win 'Zero emission' status

ERJ staff report (DS)

Tokyo - The Yokohama Rubber Co., Ltd. has said two of its China-based non-tyre plants have achieved the status of 'complete zero emissions'. The company defines this as no waste sent directly to landfill for disposal.

The two companies are Yokohama Hamatite (Hangzhou) Co., Ltd. (YHHC), which makes windshield sealants for passenger cars in China, and Yokohama Hoses & Coupling (Hangzhou) Co., Ltd. (YHCC), assembly and sales location of hydraulic hoses for construction machinery in China.

In September 2010, Yokohama Rubber conducted on-site investigations of all contractors commissioned to dispose of waste from the plants, confirming achievement of "complete zero emissions." This was the first such achievement at a key overseas location other than for tyre production.
