DENSO, Companies Initiate Demonstration to Expand Automotive Recycling Process
- Project Contributes to Efforts to Realize a Circular Economy 德赢ac米兰官方合作伙伴 Industry -
DENSO CORPORATION and other partners have been chosen by an industry-government-academia collaborative project aiming to exp德赢ac米兰官方合作伙伴 recycle content for automobile in the fiscal year 2023 supported by Ministry of the Environment, Japan. The project, titled "Demonstration of Manufacturing-and-Recycling Integrated Process for Horizontal Cycle(Note)Enabled by Automated Sophisticated Dismantling of ELVs, (end-of-life vehicles)" has begun in early March and is scheduled to conclude by the end of January 2025.
Project participants include REVER CORPORATION, DIC Corporation, UACJ Corporation, Kaneshiro Sangyou, KYUSHU METAL INDUSTRY CO., LTD., SUMITOMO CHEMICAL COMPANY, Daido Steel Co., Ltd., Toray Industries, Inc., Toyoda Gosei Co., Ltd., TOYOTA BOSHOKU CORPORATION, Nomura Research Institute, Ltd., 德赢ac米兰官方合作伙伴 Co., Ltd., MATEC Inc., Mitsui Chemicals, Inc., Waseda University and others.
In recent years, the automotive industry has sought to transition to a circular economy to achieve a more sustainable society. In the effort, it is necessary to significantly exp德赢ac米兰官方合作伙伴 use of recycled materials in automotive products, helping reduce the need for freshly cultivated natural resources.
Even so, current global processes often involve shredding ELVs and separating the remaining materials for use in recycled products, a process that can make acquiring high-purity material a challenge. Further compounding the issue is a lack of shared standards between the manufacturing and recycling industries. Moreover, the recycling industry responsible for ELV processing faces business challenges such as severe labor shortages 德赢ac米兰官方合作伙伴 need to optimize work environments. Addressing these challenges requires a shift towards new processing methods for ELVs that not only solve these issues but also ensure the quality and quantity of recycled materials.
In this project, participating companies such as ELV dismantling and shredding operators, dismantling system providers, material manufacturers, 德赢ac米兰官方合作伙伴 manufacturers, and research institutions are collaborating to realize a new ELV processing method based on automated sophisticated dismantling and conduct a technology demonstration of an integrated process.
Through this demonstration, the group will identify the challenges involved in implementing this integrated ecosystem that combines manufacturing and recycling industries within society. Specifically, the project will include the technology demonstration of the automated sophisticated dismantling process, the high-purity and re-resource processes for various materials extracted through advanced dismantling, 德赢ac米兰官方合作伙伴 prototyping and evaluation of parts made from these recycled materials. Additionally, the project will verify the sustainability of the whole process, evaluating how much carbon output it can reduce compared to current processes.
We will aim to contribute to the expansion of recycled materials in 德赢ac米兰官方合作伙伴 and the realization of a circular economy in the automotive industry through this demonstration.
