KUALA LUMPUR: Volvo Car Malaysia Sdn Bhd (VCM) has partnered with E-waste Recycling Through Heroes (ERTH) to provide E-waste Green Box to all Volvo car dealerships nationwide and Volvo Car Manufacturing Malaysia (VCMM) plant.

The initiative comes off the back of VCM's ongoing sustainability campaign – the Volvo Green Planet – which aims to bring greater awareness towards today's pressing climate concerns and propel the brand closer to its long-term goal of becoming climate neutral by 2040.

ERTH, a registered organisation with the Malaysian Department of Environment collects, purchases and transports electronic waste to be recycled at local government-licensed recycling facilities.

VCM's mission is to reduce CO2 emissions per car by 40 per cent between 2018 and 2025 through electrification, and also tackles carbon emissions in all aspects of its business, from manufacturing and operations to its supply chain and even its approach to recycling and reuse of materials.
