Several sessions at the 2019 E-Mobility & Circular Economy (EMCE) conference will focus on the present and future state of raw materials use in the design of the vehicles recyclers will handle in the approaching decades. EMCE 2019, organized by Switzerland-based ICM AG, has been scheduled for July 1-3 at the Westin Tokyo.

The event’s July 3 program topics include two sessions on “Innovation in Recycling & Material Supply Industry” and another on “Automotive Batteries & Raw Materials Supply.”

Speakers at those three sessions include representatives from Japan’s Harita Metal Co., Sweden-based Stena Recycling, JX Nippon Mining & Metals of Japan, the Australia-based TES Group and France-based Recupyl SAS.

Organizations and institutes providing speakers for the three sessions on raw materials include the China Automotive Technology and Research Center (CATARC), the Washington-based Institute of Scrap Recycling Industries Inc. (ISRI), Germany’s Fraunhofer Institute and two universities in Japan.

Professor Eiji Hosada, chairman of the EMCE 2019 Steering Committee, says with one forecast calling for the number of electric vehicles (EVs) on the road to grow from 2 million in 2016 to as many as 70 million in 2025, this will have an as yet unknown impact “on eco-design, the circular economy and the recycling and raw materials supply.”

EMCE 2019 also includes sessions on innovation within the automotive industry and the impact of circular economy efforts on the automotive sector and the household and office electronics sector.

ICM also is offering optional tours as part of the EMCE event. The July 1 tours will include one option to visit an auto dismantling and auto shredding operation or another that visits a home appliance dismantling and recycling operation.
