Toyota's waste minimization efforts include composting cafeteria waste. At our plant in Georgetown, Kentucky, cafeteria waste is composted on-site, then used in a greenhouse to grow produce for families in need.

HIGHLIGHTS:

  • Toyota's North American manufacturing division received another ENERGY STAR® Sustained Excellence award.
  • Cumulative savings from the use of returnable containers in our logistics division amounts to over 129 million pounds of wood and 48 million pounds of cardboard.
  • An improved reverse osmosis system at our Cambridge, Ontario, plant is saving 50,000 cubic meters (13.2 million gallons) of water per year.
