Seminar Highlights

As the urgency for resource circulation increases in light of decarbonization and resource security, the expectation for non-ferrous metals, primarily copper, continues to rise. However, a significant challenge lies in the separation of information flow and material flow, leading to insufficient transmission of crucial details such as the origin and environmental impact of recycled materials. Thus, the true value of circulation often remains unrecognized in the marketplace.

During the seminar, attendees will gain insight into the foundation of NTT Circulist, established through a collaboration with Mitsubishi Material, aimed at bridging the gap between information and materials. The discussion will also include the implications of international standardization (ISO) in realizing a market where circulation value is increasingly prioritized.
