Environment friendly processes in Automobile Manufacturing

In manufacturing activity, Automobile manufacturing has a major share . Automobile manufacturers are already taking steps to make the manufacturing process environment friendly. ISO 14001 is one step towards this. Recycling/reuse of body panel sheets is one more step which reduces the need for raw material and in turn reduces the impact on natural resources. This paper looks at other avenues in manufacturing with the aim of reducing the need for fresh material and thus save natural resources. With a careful analysis of the activities in metal cutting area a system can be put in place to recycle/reuse used up material and yet derive full benefit at a fraction of the cost of new material. It is possible to lower down the requirement of precious material like Titanium/Tungsten/Aluminium Oxide/Tool Steel by recycling/reuse. A small change in used material for reuse can also give employment to a few people in the community who are made to carry out this change by imparting training so that this activity can be sustained.
