-Become a Leader That Drives the Carbon Neutrality
Lithium-ion batteries (LiBs) are used widely in innovative technologies like smartphones and such next-generation automobiles as plug-in hybrid vehicles (PHVs) and electric vehicles (EVs). Once charged, LiBs can supply power for long periods of time and deliver high output. With these advantages, demand for LiBs is expected to continue surging. The batteries get their name from the lithium carbonate used as a positive cathode material. Demand for lithium carbonate is expected to rise in proportion to battery demand. Toyota Tsusho is helping to ensure stable supplies of this critical material, lithium carbonate.

Since 2000, in conjunction with automakers' expansion of manufacturing outside Japan, Toyota Tsusho has been committed to global resources recycling, primarily through Green Metals.
As the volume of end-of-life vehicles (ELV) surges in emerging countries, the Toyota Tsusho Group has taken the initiative in China by becoming the first Japanese company to launch an auto dismantling and recycling business. The aim of the business is to apply advanced technologies accumulated over the past 40 years in Japan to help solve environmental issues in China. We've embarked on an important new challenge for the future of China.
