[Instructor] Mr. Tsuyoshi Igarashi, CEO of Leaders Creative Lab Inc. [Key Lecture Content] "Each individual has potential, yet the team fails to achieve results." "Members only do what they are told; they lack proposal skills." "I am struggling with what to do as a leader." "I want to increase the engagement of both members and leaders." "I want to create a self-managing team." Are you facing such concerns and challenges? The daily words and actions of a leader can significantly change the team. When just one leader changes, a team of dozens or even hundreds can achieve remarkable results, even with the same members. We will share know-how from real experiences on how both leaders and members can create a vibrant and fulfilling self-managing team.

[Lecturer] Professor, Aichi Institute of Technology, Comprehensive Technology Research Institute Member, Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry, Subcommittee on Decarbonized Fuel Policy Member, Carbon Management Subcommittee, among others Mr. Motohiro Kondo [Former Toyota Motor Corporation] [Key Lecture Content] In our country, there are already recycling laws for specific products, and in the automotive sector, appropriate recycling and processing are progressing in accordance with the "Automobile Recycling Law." On the other hand, in response to carbon neutrality and the issue of marine plastic waste, the structure and materials of automobiles themselves are changing, and it is necessary to change our efforts towards recycling used products to facilitate the transition to a circular society. Additionally, some countries have already strengthened their initiatives, starting from addressing these environmental issues, with a focus on enhancing their industrial competitiveness and fostering new industries. In this seminar, we will explain the trends in these foreign countries and our country's policies, as well as efforts towards recycling automotive plastic waste in the formation of a circular society. [Lecture Items] 1. Direction of our country's efforts towards GX and CE 2. Trends in automotive recycling in foreign countries 3. Towards advanced automotive recycling 4. Summary 5. Q&A / Business card exchange

[Lecturer] Professor Kazuhiro Fukushiro, Graduate School of Technology Management, Yamaguchi University [Key Lecture Content] As the electric vehicle (EV) market grows, a pressing issue is the processing of used lithium-ion batteries utilized in EVs. From the perspective of environmental conservation and securing metal resources, the recycling of used lithium-ion batteries has become an urgent challenge. This lecture will explain the current state of upstream processes in recycling, such as the collection and dismantling of used batteries, trends in the development and practical application of recycling technologies like hydrometallurgical and pyrometallurgical processes, and the realities of domestic and international businesses involved in recycling. Additionally, it will touch upon the recycling of solid-state batteries, which are expected to be practical in the future. [Lecture Items] 1. Market trends for EVs and lithium-ion batteries for EVs 2. Structure, positive electrode materials, and lifespan of lithium-ion batteries 3. Collection and dismantling of used lithium-ion batteries 4. Recycling technologies (hydrometallurgy, pyrometallurgy, and others) 5. Development trends in recycling technologies for solid-state batteries 6. Realities and future prospects of the recycling business 7. Q&A
