The automotive industry is working to achieve net zero carbon dioxide emissions by 2050. Scientific studies have shown that recycling of materials is an effective way to reduce carbon dioxide emissions. To achieve this, it is necessary to sort out the waste derived from vehicles, which used to be disposed of as ASR (Automobile Shredder Residue), and recycle each material separately. There are two important things to do in this process. One is to link the recycling chain of the venous industry (the industry responsible for waste treatment, disposal, and recycling), and the other is to build an IT platform (hereinafter referred to as “ITPF”) for its traceability and information management. In Japan, Toyota Motor Corporation, Honda Motor Co., Ltd. and Nissan Motor Co., Ltd. are in the process of building a recycling platform (PF) involving dismantlers and shredders in the venous industry. In this study, we analyze PFs in Japan and around the world, examine solutions to the issue of information distribution, consider how a global PF (GPF) should be formed, and propose solutions.
