The use of recycled plastics in automobile recycling is being considered, and if automobiles become a target product, it will be necessary to consider how to respond to the imposition of usage plans, regular reports, and the obligation to use recycled plastics, etc. In Europe, a draft ELV regulation was presented last year, and consideration is being given to making the use of recycled plastics, including those derived from automobiles, mandatory.

Recommendations

  • On the premise that we support the promotion of a circular economy itself, if automobiles are included in the products for which the mandatory use of recycled plastics is required, we would like to ask that the timing and content of implementation be internationally harmonized, taking into account trends such as the European ELV regulations that are scheduled to be enacted in the future, and that consideration be given to providing a sufficient preparation period for implementation.
