Garbage Eaters

Nearly 150,000 California Redworms convert cafeteria waste into highly rich fertilizer for the surrounding area at DENSO Manufacturing Mexico’s worm farm in Apodaca, Nuevo Leon. The worms can eat their own weight in organic garbage daily, amounting to about 3 ½ tons of cafeteria waste a week. This innovative recycling method lessens the burden on landfills in the Monterrey region.

Green Roof

The green roof atop DENSO Manufacturing Canada’s (DMCN) facility offers many benefits to DMCN and the environment, including the recovery of green space, moderation of the urban heat island effect, improved storm water management, and water and air purification. The green roof also has a longer life-span than standard roofs because it is protected from ultraviolet radiation and the extreme fluctuations in temperature that cause roof membranes to deteriorate.
