  • Recycling and Source Reduction at the Ford Chicago Assembly Plant
    Ford Motor Company Pollution Prevention Case Study Recycling and Source Reduction at the Ford Chicago Assembly Plant DESCRIPTION OF THE FACILITY Ford Motor Company has manufactured and assembled over 10 million automobiles at the Chicago Assembly Plant since it opened in 1913. The plant, which produces the Ford Taurus and Mercury Sable from components manufactured at other locations covers 2.7 million sq. ft. and is traversed by a 23 mile-long assembly line. Activities performed at the plant include welding of sheet metal components to form vehicle bodies, the application of sealers and paint as well as installation of chassis, powertrain and trim components. With over 2,750 employees, Chicago Assembly produces more than 66 cars per hour and consistently ranks as one of the top North American automotive facilities in production as well as initial vehicle quality. DESCRIPTION OF THE OPPORTUNITY BEING ADDRESSED The Chicago Assembly Plant is committed to protect the environment by striving to continually improve processes that minimize waste and pollution and by setting environmental objectives and targets, which meet or surpass legal expectations. One of the plant's significant environmental objectives has been the reduction in packaging waste and the volume of solid waste through collaborations with parts suppliers and outside contractors. DESCRIPTION OF THE IMPROVEMENT In 1996, with the assistance of Waste Management, Inc., the Chicago Assembly Plant began a waste minimization program to reduce its manufacturing waste through source reduction and recycling actions. The project has focused on wooden pallets and cardboard waste and from 1996 through 1999, the source reduction and recycling of these materials has obviated their manufacture and disposal, thereby conserving the following resources1: · 563,000 mature trees, 24% of which were saved by the reuse of 450,000 pallets at the plant.
