Gathering the collective wisdom of the automotive industry for carbon neutrality and the recycling-oriented society of the future.
As the world accelerates its efforts to realize decarbonization and sustainability, Japan as well as many other countries and regions are making progress toward carbon neutrality. Creative collaboration and recycling are the keys for overcoming global-scale issues and achieving a sustainable society. The automotive industry has a wide-ranging and powerful impact on society as a whole, and initiatives to eliminate carbon over the whole vehicle life cycle are absolutely essential for achieving carbon neutrality. To successfully implement these initiatives, the automotive industry must move on from the conventional linear process of resource exploitation, manufacturing, and disposal, to a socially oriented recycling-based system focused on the 3Rs (reduce, reuse, and recycle). Although we are standing at the crossroads of transformation, it will be no easy matter to change our common values. For this reason, we have to question conventional wisdom, look at things from new perspectives, and take on this challenge through a process of creative collaboration with new partners. We must ask ourselves, “What technologies will make people and the world happy?” and broaden our value chain to help create new value.
We hope that everyone involved in the world of cars can meet at the Automotive Engineering Exposition 2023 and gather together our collective wisdom.

Using our knowledge, skill, and craftsmanship to create new value chains for achieving a recycling-oriented society!
This exhibition showcases new ways to expand the value chains of the automotive industry to support the shift from a conventional linear society to a circular recycling-oriented society. Based on the theme of a circular economy, exhibits have been prepared about natural resource technologies, recycling schemes of other industries, steel recycling, regenerative technologies for chemicals in plastics, carbon recycling technologies, and technologies enabling the re-use of resources at production sites. This is the ideal forum for the whole industry to come together and consider how we can use our knowledge, skill, and craftsmanship to help achieve a recycling-oriented society.

Recycling technologies
As part of efforts to achieve carbon neutrality throughout the entire automotive industry value chain, CO2 recycling schemes are gaining momentum as a complement to the technologies for recycling automobile component parts. This area presents exhibits on technology to repurpose recycled lithium-ion batteries in other industries, steel and plastic recycling technologies, as well as carbon recycling technologies and schemes.
-
Digital technologies
Going beyond the traditional three Rs (reduce, reuse, recycle), building a value chain that transcends the borders of the automotive industry, and defining resource recycling schemes that take advantage of digital technologies, are critical to realizing a recycling-oriented society. This area features exhibits about schemes to reorient society toward recycling, as well as examples of the application of digital technologies in other industries.
-
Production technologies
Reinventing the actual process of manufacturing is essential to realizing a recycling-oriented society. This area showcases resource recycling technologies built on the knowledge, skill and craftsmanship applied during manufacturing as part of initiatives in production sites.
