Despite Southeast Asia's largest automobile producer, Thailand has no legal system or regulations on automobile recycling, and executives of the Thai Ministry of Industry believe that this project will contribute to energy saving and creating a sustainable environment. Said.

NEDO, etc. will conduct a demonstration project until next year and make proposals to the Thai side by creating a car recycling system.

NEDO Director Kobayashi Deputy said, “Thailand is one of the leading automobile producers in Asia, so it makes sense to establish a recycling system here. Thailand is also attracting attention from neighboring countries. I would like to consider expanding into other countries. "
