1st gathering withparts suppliers
JARA Corporation (JARA) held its“First Gathering of Rebuilt GP Parts
Suppliers” in Tokyo. By gathering
together manufacturers of rebuilt parts,
the company aims to discuss sales
strategies for future development of suchparts. Although six such gatherings hadtaken place among members of what wasthen the SPN Group, the JARA
Corporation gathering was the first since
the SPN Group merged with the former
EcoLine Co.
This time, the gathering was attended
by a total of 36 people, consisting of 28
from 20 former EcoLine group rebuiltparts manufacturers, and 8 from JARA.
The gathering started with report on theactivities following the previousgathering, namely the conducting ofseminars on rebuilt parts and a tour of afactory of a rebuilt-parts manufacturer.

Recycling Promotion Center (JARC)
presented their activities and responded

rebuilt products for fiscal 2014 wereannounced.
In 2014, between July and December,
JARA conducted the “Rebuilt Parts
Expansion Long-run Campaign”, inwhich it distributed leaflets frommembers that are rebuilt parts
manufacturers to all JARA member
companies. Also, to help increase salesof each manufacturer, it implemented apoints system and business-performance

them information on rebuilt parts andarrange factory tours.

promotional campaigns to strengthen ties
with rebuilt parts manufacturers. (Daily

Akita Prefecture representing theNational Governors’ Association, and themayor of Namegawa Town of Saitama
Prefecture representing the National
Association of Town & Village, gave
presentations. Akita Prefecture explained
the status of its monitoring and guidancesystems, as well as the status of licensing
and registering dismantlers andshredding operators, and other current
issues. As for onsite inspections, it
said:“Such inspections have beenconducted once every other year for
dismantlers, and once a year for
shredding operators.” Last year, Akita
Prefecture performed 197 inspections,
resulting in the issuing of 45 verbal
cautions but no instances requiring
written caution.
With regard to measures to address
yard operators, which are being
increasingly questioned by recyclers andothers, the National Governors’
Association and the Japan Association ofCity Mayors both said it is difficult tocontrol such businesses because someyard operators are from other countries

and do not speak Japanese. Instances ofstolen vehicles being illegally processedand exported, as well as instances ofgovernmental officials not being able tosufficiently grasp explanations by nonJapanese-speaking yard workers on hardduring onsite inspections, led to one
representative of local publicorganization to say: “The important thingis to coordinate with the police andrelated agencies”. In addition,
discussions were held on the current
situation of programs aimed atpreventing the illegal disposal of vehicles
and at supporting remote islands.
Meanwhile, the governmental
designated corporation JARC gave
overviews of its operational status andchecking system for promoting efficient
operations. JARC showed how it isinvolved in an effort to improve
efficiency in the management ofcollected recycling fees. It also presented
examples of its promotional activities
targeting individual and corporate users.
