Subaru's logo - Image 1It's been three years since operations in the Subaru Indiana of Automotive (SIA) manufacturing plant started. During this time, 100,000 Partial Zero Emission Vehicles (PZEV) have been sold. And not a single piece of trash came from the company.

Subaru is celebrating its three-year anniversary of zero landfill status at its manufacturing plant, reports AutoblogGreen. This great achievement is a continuation of Subaru's outstanding performance in protecting Mother Earth, having earned the the U.S. EPA's Gold Achievement Award last year for its accomplishments.

"At Subaru, we are committed to not only maintain an effective environmental management system, but also to integrate sound environmental practices throughout our business," said Subaru of America Chairman, President, and CEO Tomohiko Ikeda.

True enough, it's been three years since the Subaru plant became the first to achieve zero landfill status, yet they're still one of the best when it comes to waste reduction and recycling.

As testament, PZEV (Partial Zero Emission Vehicles) certified Legacy, Outback and Forester models are proven to be more environment friendly with 90% cleaner emissions than your normal ride. Using technology that completely burns fuel and makes emission as clean as possible, exhaust of these vehicles can even be considered cleaner than smoggy urban areas according to AutoblogGreen.

The same plant where cars are made also caters to wildlife. We'd love to see Nintendo's pro-environment policies include taking care of deers, coyotes, beavers, blue herons, geese, rabbits, squirrels, meadowlarks, ducks and other animals like Subaru does.
