Yamaha practices sustainability in Iwata factory

MANILA: Yamaha Motor Company Limited practices sustainability through its CN1 paint line in its Iwata, Japan, factory.

According to the Japanese motorcycle manufacturer, the move to go sustainable was not prompted by any government regulation. Instead, the decision to make changes to its factory to lessen its carbon footprint was a company initiative — a reflection of the brand’s commitment to delivering quality products while preserving the environment.

Here are some of the notable features we found while touring the plant:

Electricity over fossil fuels

Yamaha Motor Company Limited has switched from using fossil fuels to electric power. According to the Hamamatsu-based firm, electricity is now used for processes like pre-treatment, painting, baking, and drying functions.

In doing so, heat wasted in the paint line was reduced by some 60 percent.

To achieve such a feat, Yamaha Motor Company Limited began using the following:

• Paint that can be used at lower temperatures
• A more compact facility design
• Insulation and air supply recycling technologies

Harmony between man and machine

Both man and machine work in harmony in the brand’s factory in Iwata.

Paint is applied with precision using robots while skilled artisans apply the finishing touches.
