This ambitious goal is part of broader initiatives to encourage domestic recycling and comply with upcoming regulations from the European Union.<\/p>\n<p>A meeting held on March 17, 2025, at the Environment Ministry finalized the action plan, which involves key stakeholders from various sectors, including the Japan Automobile Manufacturers Association, Inc., the Japan ELV Recycler\u2019s Association, the Japan Plastics Industry Federation, as well as ministries responsible for trade, industry, and the environment. Plastic plays a significant role in vehicle manufacturing, with production processes consuming up to 1 million tons of plastic annually. The consortium&#8217;s strategy aims not only to increase the volume of recycled plastics utilized but also to bolster Japan&#8217;s recycling infrastructure, enhancing both economic and resource security.<\/p>\n<p>According to the action plan, the supply of recycled plastic sourced from end-of-life vehicle (ELV) parts is set to grow to 21,000 tons per year by 2030. This figure is expected to expand to 25,000 tons by 2031, and through subsequent phases, increase to 157,000 tons by 2036 and potentially reach 200,000 tons by 2041. Part of the motivation for these drastic steps stems from the European Parliament&#8217;s deliberations on new regulations mandatorily requiring at least 20% of the plastic used in vehicle production to be recycled plastic by 2031. This regulatory pressure has galvanized the consortium&#8217;s response, as compliance will be key for Japanese manufacturers aiming to maintain competitiveness in the global market.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/evrimagaci.org\/tpg\/japan-sets-ambitious-target-for-recycled-plastic-use-in-cars-265789\">The Pinnacle Gazette<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/environmental-news-en\/4-684\/\">Japan Sets Ambitious Target For Recycled Plastic Use In Cars<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[2850,575,893,694,764],"class_list":["post-138337","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-cars","tag-environmental-news-en","tag-japan","tag-plastic","tag-recycling"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/138337","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=138337"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/138337\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=138337"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=138337"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=138337"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
