Published: Jul 9, 2026 17:09
Itochu and Daikin will launch a recycling program for used commercial air conditioners in Japan to recover high-purity aluminum, copper and steel for reuse in new products. Recycling 300,000 units annually could recover about 2,000 tonnes of aluminum scrap and 2,300 tonnes of copper scrap, supporting Japan's recycled material targets and reducing reliance on imported aluminum.
