Our environmental philosophy
At Mazda, we are always working hard to develop environmental technologies which will contribute to an exciting and sustainable future for people, automobiles, and the Earth.
PROMOTING VEHICLE RECYCLING
Mazda is actively engaged in recycling plastic automobile parts. We focus in particular on recycling bumpers and have created bumper-to-bumper recycling technology for these large plastic parts to be used as material for new bumpers.
Automobile catalytic converters are comprised of precious metals that turn harmful emissions into harmless ones when gases are exposed to the surface. Mazda took advantage of single nanotechnology* to realize a new and unique catalyst structure in which precious metal particles are individually embedded into the base material.
*Single nanotechnology: a technology to control finer materials structures than nanotechnology
