From the article:
General Motors Co. (GM) (GM), the world’s largest automaker, plans to disclose its 100th facility that doesn’t send waste to a landfill after recycling or reusing 2.6 million metric tons at plants globally last year, a person familiar with the announcement said.
GM, based in Detroit, plans to make the announcement tomorrow at its customer care and after-sales operation in Lansing, Michigan, which recycles, reuses or converts to energy all waste from daily operations, said the person, who asked not to be identified because the news isn’t public yet.
The company issued an advisory today that said Mike Robinson, GM vice president of sustainability and global regulatory affairs, would be at the event to mark an “environmental milestone” along with Michael Compher, chief of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s indoor and voluntary programs section.
