The "Specific Household Appliance Recycling Law" (the Home Electric Appliance Recycling Law) became effective on April 1, 2001. NKK Trienekens Co. was founded to carry out this recycling business and contribute toward the building of a resource recycling society. At present, investment in NKK Trienekens Co. is 30% NKK Corp., 40% Mitsui & Co., Ltd., 20% Sanyo Electric Co., Ltd., 5% Nippon Express Co., Ltd., and 5% Sankyu Inc. The Home Electric Appliance Recycling Law requires electrical appliance manufacturers to recycle four kinds of electrical appliances (refrigerators, washing machines, TV sets, and air conditioners). Electrical appliance manufactures may either carry out the recycling business themselves or subcontract it to another company. NKK Trienekens Co. carries out this business on behalf of electrical appliance manufacturers. The facilities for this business have operated smoothly since April of this year, even though the number of appliances received has exceeded the planned amount.
