Circular Economy
Toyota Tsusho will actively promote businesses that contribute to the circular economy and will aim to become the world’s leading circular economy provider, in order to achieve carbon neutrality.
Contribute to the development of a recycling-based society by transforming waste into manufacturing resources
Transforming waste into resources
Natural resources are not limitless. We must reduce our impact on the environment by efficiently using and reusing these resources. As a trading company involved in manufacturing, the Toyota Tsusho Group considers it a vital mission to consider the global environment and secure and stably provide resources. To effectively use these limited resources, we will develop recycling businesses including recovery and processing of recyclable resources from scrap generated from ELVs, in cities, and at plants. We will secure resources through urban mining, and turn waste into resources, for example, by reusing used vehicles and parts, thereby contributing to the development of a recycling-based society.
