Film is damaged. The Japanese, plagued with the problem of old cars, have developed a fiery end to jalopies. They burn everything off in huge jets of flame so that all that is left is pure iron for forming into reusable cubes. Many cars being driven on the street's of Japan. A car being maneuvered by some kind of machine where everything is being burned. Car is rotating slowly and everything that is flammable is being burned. A badly burned out car. Technicians directing the lowering of the car into a press. This is Japan recycling in 1965.
