Abstract
The automotive industry is one of the most environmental aware sectors of an economy. Car is a very complex product not only due to thousands of components used in a production process and many people involved in this process but especially for the reason that, it creates threats for the environment at each stage of its life cycle. The aim of this chapter is to provide the review of current environmental friendly practices in the automotive industry regarding reducing strategy, reusing strategy and recycling strategy used by car makers.
