Recycling of Batteries from Hybrid Vehicles
  Nickel-Metal Hydride Battery Recycling System
In preparing for recycling of end-of-life Prius hybrid vehicles in the future, Toyota worked together with Panasonic EV Energy (PEVE) and Seino Transportation Co., Ltd. to set up in 1998 a nationwide recycling system that aims to collect and recycle all nickel-metal hydride batteries. Toyota has also drafted a dismantling manual for nickel-metal hydride batteries, which has been distributed to 1,300 collection and dismantling companies through Toyotsu Recycle Corporation.
