A key to successful recycling is to establish recycling technique and to systematize effective collection of wastes.
Therefore, we have established an effective recycling systems such as
collection route of parts and materials from production processes and end-of-life vehicles, in-house recycling plant operation, reuse of collected products, and systematization of sales route of green products.
CalsonicKansei recycling system
In 2003 FY, we have completed technical development collecting precious metal from catalyst as high-grade resources. We add precious metal collection from catalyst as a new resources item.
2003 FY activities
Outline of recycling business
To maintain limited earth resources, CalsonicKansei is consistently performing the recycling activities, considering them as voluntary environment conservation.Starting by a recycling plant establishment in 1999, we have made total development from the establishment of basic research, experimental study, and recycling
technique to the operation about 3R (Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle).We will further promote the activities accommodating ourselves to recycling-oriented society needs.

Major results of recycling
Our recycling plant, which is our base for recycling, has received many visitors since its opening. We have established "Atsugi first/second recycling plants" in Atsugi Plant to rebuild compressor and radiator for car air conditioner and to collect precious metal from metal catalyst.
"Yoshimi recycling plant" in Yoshimi Plant is recycling and developing plastic of instrument panel.
・1999 Started separate experimental test of end-of-life vehicle parts and rebuilding of compressor for car air conditioner.
・2000 Started rebuilding of radiator.・2001 Established "Atsugi recycling second plant" to shift and develop
radiator rebuilding.・2002 Started plastic recycling of instrument panel.・2003 Started collecting of precious metal from vehicle metal catalyst.
