Toyota has endorsed En Tsumugi ELV Dismantler Corporation as a model for end-of-life vehicle (ELV) dismantling facilities.
Through its local unit, Toyota Motor Philippines Corporation (TMP), Toyota will provide extensive technical support in areas such as environmental compliance, facility design, dismantling methodology, equipment requirements, and hazardous waste management.
TMP also donated five ELVs, including one hybrid electric vehicle, as training units as training units for further equipping and enhancing of the facility’s capabilities.
Located in Mexico, Pampanga, En Tsumugi is open to various car makes and will serve as a benchmark in further developing the local recycling industry while promoting environmental sustainability and the adoption of best practices and foreign expertise.
“The establishment of a local ELV dismantler aligns with the goals of the ‘Toyota Global 100 Dismantlers Project,’ which aims to establish a network of proper ELV dismantling facilities worldwide,” said TMP President Masando Hashimoto during the inauguration ceremony of En Tsumugi in Pampanga.
The project seeks to address the environmental challenges associated with ELVs, such as pollution and resource depletion. By promoting proper dismantling and recycling practices, En Tsumugi will contribute to reducing greenhouse gas emissions and conserving valuable resources.
En Tsumugi is the fourth ELV dismantler in the Southeast Asian region to receive this endorsement, following similar facilities in Thailand, Vietnam, and Malaysia.
