In Japan, about 5 million end-of-life vehicles are generated every year, of which about 1 million are exported as used cars, while the remaining 4 million are dismantled and scraped in Japan. In Japan, end-of-life cars are scraped and dismantled in the same way as in the U.S. and Europe, but the recycling rate of the resultant used parts is low compared to these countries in the west. Currently there are no established legal frameworks for the recycling of used vehicles in Japan. End-of-life vehicles are disposed along the individual action plans of the related economic operator in accordance to the End-of-Life Vehicle Recycling Initiative schemed by the Ministry of International Trade and Industry in 1997. Recently, with increasing opinions voiced on the restrictions of the Recycling Initiative, the Ministry of International Trade and Industry has announced their plans to come up with a draft of end-of-life vehicle recycling system at the beginning of 2001. Regarding the recycling of vehicles abroad, the current end-of-life vehicle recycling situation of German, the Netherlands, and Sweden who already have laws for the recycling of end-of-life vehicles is introduced along with an outline of the EU directive which is about to be enforced shortly. Except for the Netherlands which adopts the method of appropriating fees collected from new car users to the disposal of end-of-life vehicles, it seems that recycling systems in the other countries are not functioning smoothly because the enforcement of laws and systems had not started with the free-of-charge collection system of used vehicles, and owing to the high export rate of end-of-life vehicles.
