Recycling Technology Committee
1.Aim of activity
This study will analyze and consider the long-term role and responsibilities expected of automotive recycling technologies in mitigating climate change and realizing sustainable social systems. It will analyze the enhancement of automotive value through technological innovation, including the transformation and challenges of recycling technologies, from a lifecycle perspective encompassing manufacturing, driving, and disposal, and will include developing an approach that integrates different indicators for evaluation.
In addition, we will deepen our understanding of the system technologies and business models of advanced recycling countries, including Europe and the United States, and discuss the transformation of recycling systems in the international community and the structural changes in recycling functions accompanying the shift to electrification.

4. Volunteer activities
From a circular economy perspective, we will consider the creation of new value in automobile recycling and the changes in required technological performance.
With a view to transitioning to a sustainable society toward a circular economy, this session will focus on collaborative models that link next-generation automobiles with recycling. For example, discussions will cover topics such as the formulation of common rules, the construction of information-sharing platforms, and business models that involve collaboration between manufacturers, consumers, and different industries, with presentations from experts and practitioners.
