Reinvesting in and Preserving the Reinvesting in and Preserving the EnvironmentEnvironment

In recent years, Chrysler LLC has invested more than $10 billion in communities where we have our roots

Billions of dollars have been spent to construct or refurbish production facilities, or in some cases, support local developers to ensure industrious use of the sites, including more than $165 million to recondition Brownfield sites

Over the past 15 years, nearly 40 sites have undergone environmental and economic transformation

Greening our Manufacturing OperationsGreening our Manufacturing Operations

Two of Chrysler’s facilities, the Newark, Delaware Assembly Plant and the Global Engine Manufacturing Alliance (GEMA) in Dundee, Michigan have achieved zero-waste-to-landfill status

All Chrysler facilities in Mexico are zero wastewater discharge facilities In recent years

Chrysler is the world leader in applying powder primer technology to our products – resulting in no emissions of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) or hazardous air pollutants (HAPs)

Since 1991, the company has researched recycling technologies aimed at reducing the amount of a vehicle that goes to landfill
