The Automobile Recycling Act that was enforced in 2005 was imposed on automobile manufacturers in order to recover and recycle three items : ASR, CFCs & HFCs, and airbags. Car owners pay the costs for this at the time of purchase, while the existing infrastructure, which employs services such as dismantlers, is still in place.
Since five years passed after the enforcement of the act, the review of the implementation has been conducted in a joint meeting of the Central Environment Council and the Industrial Structure Council. This paper introduces the final report of this joint meeting and provides an overview regarding the future direction of the Act.
