American Honda Motor Co., Inc., released its fourth annual report on the company’s environmental performance in North America. Average per-unit CO2 emissions from the production of automobiles were reduced 1.7 percent from last year, to about 700 kilograms per auto.

Average per-unit energy consumed in the production of automobiles also fell 1.5 percent from the previous year to 6.5 gigajoules.

Waste to landfills for each automobile produced was reduced by almost 80 percent from the 2001 baseline, to just 1.9 kilograms, as six Honda plants in North America earned the designation of zero-waste-to-landfill production facilities.
