CM). Such export of enterprises and innovations will enable the Japanese environmental sector to enhance its global impact. Simultaneously, regional enterprises will have the chance to leverage policy initiatives and technology -focusedcross -bordercollaboration to seize emerging markets and high -valuesectors, thereby expediting their international expansion. In particular, the recycling rate for category four electric household appliances, i.e. air conditioners, televisions, refrigerators and washing machines, in Japan increased slightly from 86% in 2019 to 87% in 2024, with the number of recycled units reduced to approximately 14.4 million units in 2024 from 14.8 million units in 2019 with a CAGR of -0.6%. This is mainly due to Japan’s Home Appliance Recycling Law implemented in 2001, which mandates that category four electric household appliances must be recycled and disposed of by manufacturers or recycling centers, supported by a robust recycling system that helps reduce waste generation and maintain steady recycling growth. 57 Source: The Frost & Sullivan Report Overview of Metal Recycling Market in Japan Definition and Classification Metal recycling is the systematic recovery and re -processingof discarded metallic materials, primarily ferrous metals such as carbon and stainless steel and key non -ferrousmetals like aluminum, copper, zinc, and lead, so they can substitute for virgin ore in subsequent manufacturing cycles. The goal is to return these metals to a raw -materialstate without materially degrading their mechanical or chemical properties, enabling them to be reused indefinitely. Main Purpose and Goals of Metal Recycling •Resource conservation: Metals are finite in the Earth’s crust; recycling preserves primary ore reserves. •Energy and carbon savings: Producing secondary metals typically consumes less energy and emits proportionally fewer greenhouse gases than primary production, conforming with the global trend of attaining carbon neutrality •Economic efficiency: Scrap becomes a tradable commodity that lowers input costs, stabilizes supply, and supports domestic manufacturing. •Waste minimization: Diverts end -of -lifeproducts from landfills and curbs the environmental footprint of extraction and beneficiation. •Supply -chainsecurity: By closing material loops, nations and firms reduce exposure to geopolitical risks tied to mining and concentrate production.
