Honda announced that it will be significantly reducing environmental impacts yet again with the help of its new $210 million vehicle paint system. The system will be used at the plant in Marysville, OH and will reduce energy and water use, CO2 emissions, volatile organic compounds, and paint sludge.
“Honda is committed to delivering products that have outstanding quality and low environmental impact,” said Tom Shoupe, executive vice president and COO of Honda of America Mfg., Inc. “With this new investment, our Ohio operations are once again raising the bar for quality and environmentally responsible manufacturing operations.”
The process uses a shorter and more energy efficient method for applying and baking the paint. It will also reduce volatile organic compounds by switching to waterborne primer and base coats. The use of two million gallons of water, and the resulting 255 tons of paint sludge, will be eliminated thanks to new “dry-booth” technology and the two-step curing process will automate temperature control and ultimately enhance vehicle appearance.
Construction of the paint line should be completed by the end of 2017.
