Yokohama Metals, located an hour outside of Tokyo, is one of only six Japanese companies recycling nonferrous and precious metals from outdated cell phones and electronics equipment, according to a report in The New York Times.

Even though electronics recycling is not yet required by law, one environmental consultant said the Japanese companies saw "the writing on the wall" and knew that mandatory recycling would come to them if they didn't go to it first.

Japan last year began implementing a law that requires manufacturers of home appliances to recycle their discarded products. Japanese lawmakers also have talked about expanding the law to include home computers and office electronic equipment.

The metal-recovery system at the Yokohama plant where discarded cellular telephones are sent is labor intensive, placing a heavy emphasis on patience. From the time it receives a shipment of material for processing, the company estimates that it takes as long as six months before refined metal will be back on the market.

The process begins with a shipment of cell phones loaded into a shredder, which produces piles of electronic pulp. The commingled scrap metal and plastic are melted into a thick paste and bagged in canvas sacks, which are dunked repeatedly in solvents designed to leach out both precious and ferrous metals.

According to the Japanese company's estimates, it takes 112,000 cellular telephones to produce a 1-kilogram bar of gold.

Electronic manufacturers of cellular telephones and computers recycled a third of the 20 million appliances thrown out in Japan last year, but numerous companies still reported poor profits from electronic recycling.

"Basically we're losing money, but we're getting more products than we thought, so our loss is shrinking," said one industry member.
