General Motors said last week that 62 of its manufacturing plants (representing 43 percent of its global production) no longer send any production waste to landfills. The company’s goal, first stated in 2008, is for zero waste at half of its operations by the end of 2010, and it’s 87 percent of the way there.

GM could make it 100% by attaching a guarantee of retrun to each vehicle it produces so when it is no longer safe to drive, whoever then owns it can return it to GM and be paid a set percentage below whatever the recycle materials are worth. That way everyone gets something and nothing goes into landfill.
