Two Approaches for Achieving a Recycling-Based Society
and Carbon-Neutral Society

At present, J&T Recycling is focused on two core initiatives as part of its various waste recycling businesses: horizontal recycling and local production for local consumption recycling.

Horizontal Recycling

Horizontal recycling refers to converting used products into resources and creating the same products again. J&T Recycling participates in bottle-to-bottle (BtoB) business that transforms used PET bottles back into PET bottles, and projects that manufacture new tarp from waste tarp.

Local Production for Local Consumption Recycling

The local production for local consumption recycling model converts local waste into renewable energy and feeds this back into the community with a service called "Electricity Creation Returning®", which is a business run by Urban Energy Corporation (JFE Group), selling renewable energy back to the waste generators with priority price. J&T Recycling also engages in an initiative to recycle fermentation residue produced during processing as fertilizer. Through these initiatives, we aim to create a “Double Recycling Loop” that creates electric power and fertilizer from food waste.

SDGs Certification

Through agreements with local governments on disaster waste management and its exercise,
we have strengthened partnerships with local communities.
These sustainability initiatives earned SDGs certification from both Yokohama City (Jul. 2022) and Kawasaki City (Aug. 2022).
Leveraging domestic expertise, we step into the industrial waste treatment business in Southeast Asia, where rapidly growing economies.
J&T Recycling remains committed to advancing the circular economy and carbon-neutral society both domestically and internationally.
