When you come to Steve Hopkins Honda, conveniently located at 2499 Auto Mall Pkwy Fairfield, CA 94533, you'll find a wide range of new Honda models that are made under the Honda 3R approach. For those of you wondering, the three Rs in question are reduce, reuse, and recycle.
Honda is always looking to implement these three things more often in its production, and they're even going as far as to implement them afterwards too. Confused? Don't worry, we'll explain. We are, after all, dedicated to keeping you informed.
Honda and Japan Metals & Chemicals Co., Ltd. recently teamed up to research and implement a new method by which to extract rare earth metals from nickel-metal hydride batteries. This move is the logical next step after Honda mastered recovering raw materials like stainless steel from nickel-metal hydride batteries recently. What's more, this move could have a big impact on the pricing of hybrid models that utilize such power sources, including the Honda Insight and Honda Civic Hybrid.
Of course, knowing that this is a new step in an existing process begs the question of what comes next. And believe it or not, the Big H actually has an answer. The company wants to be able to extract rare earth metals from other sources in order to increase their reserve. In other words, the company hopes to bolster their supply numbers by extracting rare earth metals from sources that other companies can't.
