About Japan Auto Recycling Partnership

Automobile Recycling Law requires automobile companies and importers to collect and recycle three designated items from ELV: CFCs, airbags, and Automobile Shredder Residue (ASR).

We were established in January 2004 in order to properly, reliably, and efficiently collect and recycle (or destroy in the case of CFCs) CFCs and airbags, which are among the three designated items, commissioned by automobile companies and importers.

We collect and manage CFCs and airbags centrally from about 4,000 recycling companies nationwide on behalf of all automobile companies and importers.

We have streamlined operations by securing economies of scale in terms of logistics and information systems, reducing vehicle owners' recycling fees, and facilitated business operations by establishing a central contact point with CFC recovery operators, CFC destruction operators, dismantling operators, and airbag recycling operators.

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

Furthermore, in recent years, in response to changes in the environment surrounding the automotive society, we have established the advanced mobility department and are working on projects for the appropriate recycling of lithium-ion batteries (LiB) and advanced mobility, etc.

Message
Massage from the President

In order to ensure the implementation of the " CFCs・Retrieval and destruction of 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, in 2016, the Organization was entrusted with the back-office operations of the Automobile Shredder Residue Recycling Promotion Team (ART) for Automobile Shredder Residue (ASR), and is involved in the proper and smooth processing of all three designated collected items for automobile recycling.

The accelerating shift to electrification and the growth of recycling of plastics and strategic resources are expected to bring about a major change in the automotive recycling world. The accelerating shift to electrification and the accompanying growth in recycling of plastics and strategic resources are expected to bring about a major transformation in the world of automotive recycling.

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 a new and improved " Japan Auto Recycling Partnership".

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