Honda has announced it will expand its use of recycled materials in motorcycles. As part of its efforts to reduce environmental impact, the company plans to broaden the use of sustainable materials across its product lineup.
In Europe, a product's environmental impact across its entire lifecycle is scrutinized strictly. From where I sit, Honda's stance of reaching into the materials, not just running emissions, fits the times. In terms of its relationship with society, environmental response is no longer optional, it's a given. When the biggest player moves, industry standards shift.

Doesn't using recycled material end up reducing the bike's strength or performance?
Curious whether that extra cost ends up getting passed on to the price.
Yamaha and Kawasaki are heading the same direction too, so it's an industry-wide trend.
Used to be cost came first above everything -- times have really changed.
An environmental-consideration pitch is hard to evaluate without concrete material-ratio figures.
If there's no numeric target like 'X% recycled material' in the article, guess we'll wait for a follow-up.
Announcing it as something that'll expand across the whole product line shows real seriousness.
