Volvo's New River Valley assembly plant in Dublin, Va. has achieved zero landfill status at its truck manufacturing operations. Waste generated by the facility, which manufactures all Volvo trucks sold in North America, is now recycled, composted or converted to electricity. The 1.6 million square-foot heavy-duty truck assembly plant is one of the Volvo Group's largest manufacturing facilities in the world, and the company's first in North America to achieve zero landfill status. NRV's journey began in 2003 by first identifying and evaluating all solid and liquid waste streams within the plant. Once identified, the plant's environmental team introduced a framework to better coordinate recycling efforts and began expanding reuse, recycling and composting opportunities.
