Building a Sustainable World ThroughAluminum Recycling

From Shinkansen to Shinkansen: Promoting Carbon
Neutrality Through Closed Loop Recycling of
Shinkansen Car Bodies*

NLM Group Supports the Japan Wheelchair
Rugby Federation

New Hand Rims Excelling inInternational Competitions

Aluminum has many excellent properties: it is lightweight, highly workable, andstrong for its weight. Another optimal property is that it is easy to recycle.
Aluminum can be reused endlessly by remelting, and recycling aluminum takes
just 3% of the energy required to manufacture it new. By recycling aluminum,
we help reduce CO2 emissions, which cause global warming. The NLM Group
actively promotes aluminum recycling to help build a sustainable world.

One project in the NLM Group’s recycling initiative is the closed loop recycling of
Shinkansen car body materials. This project is being driven by group company
Nikkeikin ACT in collaboration with companies such as JR Central. Previously,
decommissioned Shinkansen cars were recycled into impure aluminum cast, which
could not be used in the body material of a Shinkansen car, which has a skeletal
structure requiring high strength, quality, and reliability from the material. Now,
however, the NLM Group’s recycling and manufacturing technologies deliver thesame quality as the original material, making closed loop recycling possible, with thematerial going directly back into Shinkansen car body parts. This reduces CO2
emissions in the manufacturing process by approximately 50 tons per train.
The NLM Group is planning to expand the closed loop recycling of aluminum toother products, as well. We will leverage the power of “Team NLM” to accelerate ourcarbon neutrality initiatives.

The NLM Group signed an official partner agreement with the Japan Wheelchair
Rugby Federation in 2020. This step came from our determination to be acompany where people are proud to work and to enhance our social
contributions. Under the partnership, we promote employee volunteering, offer
study sessions on wheelchair rugby, and encourage employees and theirfamilies to attend games. One of our initiatives is the development of hand rims
for the custom wheelchairs used by wheelchair rugby players.
The hand rim is a metal ring attached to the outside of the wheels that
players grip when propelling the chair, essentially the engine of the wheelchair.
Since wheelchair rugby involves intense collisions between chairs, the handrims often get bent out of shape. Using aluminum, the NLM Group developed
lightweight yet highly deformation-resistant hand rims. These first-everJapan-produced hand rims, provided to the Federation, are contributing to thepromotion and popularization of wheelchair rugby.

NLM Group companies* have produced hand rims featuring plates (ribs)
inserted into the rim tubing. This increases strength while maintaining lightness
and successfully suppresses deformation on impact. They have also realized
low-cost manufacturing with less material loss by extrusion molding the ribbed
tubing and connecting plate (for attachment to the wheel) in one piece.
The rugby chairs equipped with the new hand rims have earned highpraise from players for their durability, ability to withstand hard collisions, lowcost, and maneuverability. Japan’s national team has used them in international
competitions since 2021, contributing to their success.
In 2021, the NLM Group renovated its gymnasium, Nikkei Arena, located at
the Nippon Light Metal Tomakomai Complex, to make it more accessible forparasports. It is now popular among many people as a local base for wheelchairbasketball and other parasports.
From making aluminum products leveraging the material’s advantages tovarious other initiatives, the NLM Group is helping to shape a society where
everyone can thrive and excel.

The NLM Group’s Thermal Management Solutions:
Paving the Way for the Era of Electric Vehicles

Innovations in Thermal Management Contributing
to a Sustainable World

Aluminum has high thermal conductivity, a property that is used to achieve
thermal management in products across many fields.
Thermal management is especially important for hybrid and electricvehicles, collectively known as xEVs. The power control unit, power
semiconductors, lithium-ion batteries and other such components represent the“heart” of the xEV, safely controlling the vehicle. When these components
convert electrical energy into drive power, a lot of heat is generated. Aluminum
cooling plates protect the heart of the xEV by removing this heat. To meet theneeds of automakers and parts manufacturers, we propose optimal solutions forcustomers who appreciate the way Team NLM brings together group companies
and divisions to share information and technologies. In this way, the NLM Groupis supporting the widespread adoption of xEVs as the automobiles of the future.
The alumina and aluminum hydroxide handled by Nippon Light Metal’s
Chemicals Division also boast excellent thermal conductivity. The NLM Group’s
differentiated particle size, shape, and purity are also highly regarded, and theseproducts are employed in heat dissipating fillers for xEVs and in many otherfields where electricity is used.

The NLM Group also pursues technological development to further enhancethermal solutions. One example is our “Aluminum+1” technology that addresses
the increasing sophistication of electronic devices by bonding aluminum withother materials such as copper or resin to create multi-materials that offer
benefits such as thermal conductivity, weight saving and strength, tackling
diverse challenges that cannot be solved by a single material alone.
Our thermal management solutions utilizing aluminum and chemicals andderivative technologies not only protect automobiles and electronic components
from heat, but also facilitate energy savings by delivering more efficient heatutilization. This supports decarbonization by enabling the spread anddevelopment of xEVs, and the advent of a hydrogen-powered world. The NLMGroup will continue to advance thermal management as an indispensable tool
for building a sustainable world.
