The Environmental Research and Education Foundation recognized DaimlerChrysler Corp. for its role in turning waste into car parts through its Chrysler CARE (Concepts for Advanced Recycling and Environmental) Car II program.
The company was saluted with the foundation’s Environmentalist of the Year award gala last month.
The project used a process developed by Recovery Plastics International, Salt Lake City, Utah, to sort and separate different types of plastic, with the resulting recovered plastic being recycled and reused.
Michael Cagney, EREF president said, "The mission of the EREF is to develop environmental solutions for the future and it is quite proper that we recognize DaimlerChrysler for its CARE Car program because it ties so well with our work."Latest from Recycling Today
