Thank you for your continued support of MIRU.com.

 

Following the success of our three previous industry-focused "Automobile Recycling Summits," which gathered participants from government, academia, and industry, we are pleased to announce the Automobile Recycling Summit IV.

 

Since the last summit in 2017, we have continued our efforts through the broader "Circular Economy Symposium," but in response to renewed high interest in the automobile recycling sector and customer demand, we will once again focus specifically on this field.

 

We look forward to welcoming you on June 25, 2025, in Tokyo.
