Industry-Government-Academia Initiatives to Expand Use of Recycled Materials for Automotive Applications and Future Prospects
In Europe, a draft ELV regulation has been proposed that includes mandatory minimum recycled plastic content for automobiles, and the establishment of a recycled plastic market to support stable production in Japan’s automotive industry is an urgent and important issue.

The Ministry of the Environment launched the “Industry-Academia-Government Consortium for the Construction of a Market for Recycled Materials for Automobiles” last fiscal year with the aim of promoting the construction of a recycled plastic market through efforts in arterial and venous cooperation.
This presentation will introduce the efforts of the industry-academia-government consortium and the concept of a centralized base for establishing a stable supply system for recycled plastics for automobiles.

1. Current status of recycled plastics for automobiles and “what we are aiming for
2. Direction of the industry-academia-government consortium’s study in FY2025
3. Analysis of the current situation and BAU scenario (status quo)
4. Toward the establishment of a supply system for recycled plastics for the automotive industry
5. Direction for promoting the value of recycled plastics to build the domestic market

The following is a summary of the domestic and international situation surrounding the automobile industry and the direction of automobile policy toward GX.
