12.9 Conclusions and Future Outlook
Since the start of Green Point System initiative, inquiries from interested companies
have been increased. Previously it was only image-oriented educational activities.
Now, the specific figures issued by this system are cited in CSR or other reports of
companies and administrative agencies. These organizations have established a new
status by the use of auto recycled parts.
The recycled parts on which the Green Point is attached increase its appeal as a
product. There is many more potentials in Green Point System, which include;
• Visualization of reduction of the CO 2 emissions caused by the disposal of each
end-of-life car
• Visualization of reduction of the CO 2 emissions caused by the processes such as
dismantling and removal of parts in the whole factory
• Creating various donation systems using Green Point numbers
• Survey and report on CO 2 figures of used parts exported.
Another potential in this Green Point System is the coordination with other various
point systems, which is expected to be an important mean for enlightening activities
targeting general users in the future.
