Development of Easy to Recycle Structure
For ease of dismantling end of life vehicles, we are taking measures such as reducing the number of fixing points and adopting structures that make parts easier to remove.

Development of Easily Removable Harness
Easy to dismantle Design for Main Harness
By adopting eco-efficient structural designs such as those that enable easier harness removal, we improved our overall recoverability rate from 50% to 85%.
Development of Easy-to-Recycle Materials
To avoid recycling difficulties when, for example, thermoplastics and thermosetting plastics are mixed after use, we have developed markers to clearly identify the materials used.
