About Japan Auto Recycling Partnership

The Automobile Recycling Law requires automobile manufacturers and importers to collect and recycle the three designated items from end-of-life vehicles Fluorocarbons, and automotive shredder residue (ASR).

Our organization was established in January 2004 to receive commissions from automobile manufacturers and importers Fluorocarbons —two of the three designated items—and to ensure the proper, reliable, and efficient collection and recycling (including destruction Fluorocarbons ) of these materials.

Regarding Fluorocarbons and airbags, we centrally manage collection and oversight on behalf of all automobile manufacturers and importers, coordinating with approximately 4,000 recycling operators nationwide.

We facilitate smooth operations by securing economies of scale in logistics and information systems, reducing recycling fees that burden vehicle owners, and establishing a single point of contact for Fluorocarbons, Fluorocarbons destruction operators, vehicle dismantlers, and airbag recyclers.

Additionally, since fiscal year 2016, we have been entrusted with back-office operations related to ASR by the Automotive Shredder Residue Recycling Promotion Team (ART).

Furthermore, in recent years, in response to changes in the environment surrounding the automotive industry, Lithium-ion battery the Lithium-ion batteryAdvanced mobility and are also engaged in businesses aimed at the appropriate recycling of Lithium-ion battery (LiB) Advanced mobility.

Message
Massage from the President

In order to ensure the implementation of the "Retrieval and destruction of fluorocarbons and airbags" mandated by the Automotive Recycling Law, the Corporation has been promoting the "establishment, operation, and management of a recycling system including efficient joint collection" on behalf of automobile manufacturers and others.
Furthermore, for Automobile Shredder Residue (ASR), the Corporation was entrusted with the back-office operations of the Automobile Shredder Residue Recycling Promotion Team (ART) in 2016 and is involved in the proper and smooth processing of all three designated collected items for automobile recycling.

The automotive industry has been undergoing dynamic environmental changes on a global scale in recent years. In particular, the challenges of carbon neutrality and the circular economy are now essential. The accelerating shift to electrification and the growth of plastics recycling and strategic resources are expected to bring about a significant change in the automotive recycling world.

On the other hand, the automotive recycling industry is facing a number of challenges that cannot be addressed by the conventional domestic-focused automotive recycling alone, such as the rapid increase in the number of foreign dismantlers, the aggressive entry of foreign recyclers into the Japanese market, and the increasing outflow of used lithium-ion batteries overseas. Therefore, the Corporation recognizes that efforts based on global resource recycling will become increasingly important.

The Corporation is proud that its major strength lies in its expertise in automobile recycling, which has been cultivated under the Automobile Recycling Law. We believe that it is our mission to make the most of this strength and pioneer the future of automobile recycling. We have already started to build a recycling system for electric mobility, which is not covered by the Automobile Recycling Law, and we will continue to contribute to automobile recycling in the future in response to the demands of the times.

On January 1, 2024, we will celebrate the 20th anniversary of our establishment and have formulated a new mission, vision, and values as our management policy. Under the new policy, we are determined to achieve further growth as a united staff. We hope you will look forward to an upgraded "Japan Auto Recycling Partnership".

As a partner connecting everyone involved in automotive recycling, we ask for your continued understanding and cooperation in our activities.
