Toronto, Ontario — The Automotive Recycling Industry Development Committee (CARIDC), recently formed by the China Association for Economic Development in Asia (CAEDA), has agreed to be involved with the International Roundtable on Auto Recycling (IRT).
CAEDA is a national social organization established under the guidance of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the People’s Republic of China, which is committed to promoting economic and cultural exchanges and cooperation between Asian countries and countries along the “Belt and Road’. The goal of the association is to organize interaction between member enterprises and the Asian business community, enhance understanding and friendship, and contribute to the economic development of China and Asian countries.
The Automotive Recycling Industry Development Committee (CARIDC) aims to promote the sustainable development of China’s automotive recycling industry. According to the characteristics and key points of the development of the automotive recycling industry chain, CARIDC will carry out the construction of recycling systems such as new and old automobile replacement, recovery, dismantling and reuse, new energy automobile power battery recycling and laddering, after-market services, recycling of second-hand automobiles and parts, etc., and will follow the development route of ‘double recycling’ in the refinement of the resource recycling and the practical aspects of the ESG practice. In addition, following the ‘double-cycle’ development route, CARIDC will work on the refinement of resource recycling and ESG practices.
“CARIDC is willing to cooperate with all parties, focusing on intelligence, electrification, greening and recycling, to jointly promote technological innovation and international cooperation in the field of automobile recycling, and to achieve low-carbon development of automobiles,” stated President Zhang Ying with CARIDC.
CARIDC is hosting the next Asian Automotive Environmental Forum in October 2025.
“We welcome the participation of CARIDC within the IRT. While we hear many things about the Chinese auto recycling sector, it is a great opportunity for all to learn more and to share information directly,” said Steve Fletcher, IRT Administrator.
The IRT is a voluntary forum to exchange ideas, trends, opportunities and challenges among progressive auto recyclers and their associations from around the world. The IRT is currently supported by key auto recycling associations in Canada, the USA, Japan, Australia, the UK, Poland, Malaysia, and Spain.
The IRT is hosting its next event in November 2025 in Liverpool, England.
