AUTOMOTIVE MATERIALS AND PARTS DIVISION
About the Automotive Materials and Parts Division
The variety of automotive materials that the Automotive Materials and Parts Division deals in is one of the widest in Japan.
The automobile industry is now undergoing a major, once-in-a-century period of change. We propose integrated solutions encompassing the entire process, from raw materials to parts for next-generation automobiles.
We aim to be a leader in proposing solutions with the power of chemistry towards achieving CN/CE in the mobility sector.

Current efforts towards achieving Circular Economy
Recycling of automotive ASR
We sell recycled plastics made from automotive-derived waste plastics to the consumer goods sector, including home appliances and logistics materials.
We will contribute to the further adoption of Circular Economy.
PLANIC
Since 2022, Toyota Tsusho has starterd full-scale operation of PLANIC, which is one of the largest manufacturers of recycled plastics in Japan.
Waste tires and waste rubber parts' collection / Chemical and material recycling
We aim to achieve "Circular Economy" by establishing a scheme for both chemical and material recycling using waste tires and waste rubber parts' as raw materials in Japan.
Main Testing Services
Foreign material detector
TOYOTSU Chemiplas operates the Quality Support Center (QSC) and contributes to our customers’ timely quality control through the sorting of a wide variety of foreign material (lightweight, different color, metal) using various inspection devices and foreign marerial inspection equipment, as well as speedy screening through real-time analysis.
Equipment / Features
Wind sorter |
Sorting lightweight foreign material (fiber, wood chips, powder) contained in resin (pellets and flakes) that is assumed to be contamination |
---|---|
Optical sorter |
Based on the standard of good products, foreign materials are separated (deferent color pellets, black spots, pebbles) |
Metal sorter |
Sorting metal foreign material(can also detect aluminum and stainless steel) from resin (pellets/flakes) |
Real-time analysis
We have equipment that allows us to perform repeated measurements quickly and easily, centering on analyzers that can confirm the structure and composition of resins.
We will analyze any changes in the material as soon as possible after the sample arrives and report the results to you as an initial check during the Initial Stage Control or as an initial investigation into any defects that may occur.
Equipment / Features
