Environment Creating a town that spins the future: Kanazawa Recycle Town Concept Summer 2025
The newly launched "Recycle Town Concept" in Kanazawa is a partnership between Kaiho Sangyo and Tau, which aims to create the first town based on automobile recycling in Hokuriku. The company has started a full-fledged system to recycle damaged vehicles and vehicles damaged in disasters as resources, rather than disposing of them as waste. Kaiho Sangyo's advanced dismantling technology separates metals, plastics, and electronic parts from the vehicles, and each is transformed into new industrial resources through refining, cleaning, and reuse processes. In particular, precious metals and rare metals recovered from electronic parts are of great significance in that they can be used as materials for next-generation industries such as semiconductors and batteries.
This initiative is not limited to Kanazawa, but is connected to a network of recycling towns that Tau has already established in Akita and Saitama, where technology and experience are being shared among the regions. Such collaboration will not only establish an efficient recycling system, but also serve to spread awareness of a recycling-oriented society through educational activities involving local governments and residents. It is also important as an environmental technology, and is expected to curb environmental pollution caused by carbon dioxide emissions from incineration and improper disposal. Furthermore, the introduction of traceability through automatic identification and digital management using AI is also being considered, and this is becoming a model case for promoting technological innovation and changes in social awareness at the same time.
The Kanazawa recycling town concept is a symbolic attempt to build a sustainable society by acting as a bridge between local communities, industry, and the environment in the future.
