Professional Automotive Recycling Industry Well Repre-

sented at First G7 Workshop on "Life Cycle Concepts" -

Focus on the Auto Sector

ARA and other recycling industry stakeholders actively participated in the G7

Alliance on Resource Efficiency's first workshop on March 22 - 23. The 2-day

event in Arlington, Virginia was entitled "U.S. Workshop on the Use of Life

Cycle Concepts in Supply Chain Management to Achieve Resource Efficien-

cy" and was focused on the auto sector.

ARA President Mike Swift was a presenter on

the first panel and discussed the framework of

the professional automotive recycling industry

and the necessity of the OEM's partnering

with recyclers in life cycle design through end-

of-life strategic planning. His comments were

extremely well received by other presenters

and workshop participants. ARA CEO Michael

Wilson, ARA Director of Policy and Political

Affairs Delanne Bernier, Car-Part's Jeff

Schroder, Hollander's Anders Moeller, and

Eric Harris of ISRI also participated in the two-

day sessions.

The workshop was orchestrated by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agen-

cy (EPA) and participants included representatives from U.S. and foreign

governments, scholars from academia, automakers and other domestic and

international auto industry stakeholders as well as experts in life cycle and

sustainability from other manufacturing industries. The focus centered on dia-

logs between the public and private sectors, discussions of life cycle and

supply chain analysis and end-of-life challenges. The Alliance was estab-

lished "...to serve as a forum to share knowledge, create information net-

works across G7 countries, and encourage collaboration with large and small

businesses and relevant stakeholders to advance resource efficiency, pro-

mote voluntary best practices, and foster innovation." This workshop was a

direct result of the annual summit of G7 countries in Germany in June 2015.

Current G7 members and participants are Germany, France, United King-

dom, Italy, Japan, Canada, United States and the European Union. ARA is

proud to have been invited to be an active participant in this ground breaking

event to educate domestic and international auto industry stakeholders and

governmental entities on the critical importance of a robust global automotive

recycling sector.
