Challenge 5

Challenge of Establishing

a Recycling-based Society

and Systems

1. Preventing potential pollution by ELVs

2. Addressing potential resource risks

(Depletion, price-hike, supply variations)

3. Coping with global warming

* Dismantlers: Vehicle dismantling companies or the like

and CFC/HFC for prevention of water

pollution, soil contamination, and global

warming in the regions without appropriate

infrastructures

Appropriate treatment of special parts

and materials of next-generation vehicles

Jan. 2018: Launching a facility utilizing an existing facility of a dealer [Vietnam]

Mar. 2018: Launching a model facility of Japanese dismantling technology [Thailand]

Installing latest technologies and equipment

● Developing a method to remove waste oil and

fluid using widely-available tools such as sickle

● Adding the “easy-to-dismantle mark” to fuel

tank in the position best suitable for removal

of waste fuel

Easy-to-dismantle mark

04

Taking easy-to-dismantle design at end-of-life stage into consideration,

developing and introducing simple equipment & tools that match local situations


Approaches in emerging countries

● Development of procedures and methods of dismantling Fuel Cell Vehicle (FCV)

Approaches in advanced countries

Demonstration of removal of high-pressure hydrogen tank

Removal of hydrogen gas from

intermediate pressure port

② Drainage of

waste fluid

③ Treatment of

airbag & CFC/HFC

④ Removal of battery,

etc.

⑤ Removal of hydrogen tank

and FC stack assembly

⑥ Shredding of hydrogen tank and

disassembly of FC stack assembly

① Degassing

05

Preparing the dismantling procedures and methods and having demonstrations

at various sites ahead of the launch of a new technology, fuel cell vehicle (FCV)

In collaboration with local stakeholders, installing model facilities best feasible and practical in

each region depending on the conditions such as volume and kinds of ELVs collected and

collection and treatment infrastructures

● Setting up 30 model facilities in both advanced and emerging countries

06

Not just producing and selling vehicles, but expanding model

dismantling facilities worldwide to eliminate pollution by ELVs

Further approaches


Through promotion

of 3R and efficient

use of recycled

materials

1) Reduction of usage of materials

with potential resource risks

2) Promotion of remanufacturing/

reuse of parts originated from

repair/replacement/end-of-life vehicles

3) Promotion of using low CO2

recycled materials

To realize an ultimate recycling based society,

various projects, mainly to address resource risks and global warming, are

underway based on the concept of 3R, “Reduce/Reuse/Recycle”

Approaches in Japan (Nickel–metal-hydride batteries)

From 2014 From 2013

10

Recycling approx. 6,000 end-of-life HV batteries

as stationary rechargeable batteries or supply batteries for vehicle


Examples of our approaches

● Batteries after inspection are

remanufactured and sold as stationary

rechargeable batteries (mainly at Toyota dealers)

● Batteries after inspection

are remanufactured and sold as supply

batteries for vehicle (the second

generation Prius)

Building a framework from collection to resource recovery in 5 regions; Japan, US, Europe,

China, and Asia

・ Differences in regulations/custom by

country/region

・ Efficient collection method in the regions

requiring long-distance transportation

・ Certain extraction and sales of valuable-metal

Challenges to be addressed

● Globally expanding the technologies developed in Japan for collection and

treatment of HV batteries for detoxification

● Advancing the following in cooperation with local recyclers or such

12

Looking ahead of widespread use of electrified vehicle,

establishing a safe & efficient recycling framework


Action Plan

In other regions, aiming for material recycling in cooperation with global recyclers

13

Challenge of Establishing a Recycling-based Society and Systems

Summary

Aiming for developing technology and establishing society and systems

which enable safe, low-cost, and proper treatment & recycling of wide

variety of ELVs and components all over the world
