J&T Recycling Corporation (President: Tetsuo Tsuyuguchi, Headquarters: Yokohama City, Kanagawa Prefecture, hereinafter "J&T Recycling"), a group company of JFE Engineering Corporation (President: Gen Oshita, Headquarters: Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo), will participate in Sendai City's recycling project for plastic waste, including plastic products.
This participation follows the approval of a recycling plan jointly developed by Sendai City and J&T Recycling under the Plastic Resource Circulation Promotion Act (hereinafter "New Plastic Act") enacted in April this year. This marks the first such approval in Japan by the Minister of Environment and Minister of Economy, Trade and Industry.
With this approval, plastic product waste generated throughout Sendai City will be collected together with plastic containers and packaging, and efficiently recycled into logistics pallets and other products at J&T Recycling's Sendai Factory. The factory has already been conducting integrated operations from sorting, compression, and packaging of plastic containers and packaging to recycling of packaged materials at the same site. For this project, the facility will maximize the use of its equipment and accumulated experience and expertise in material recycling.
J&T Recycling will continue to participate in recycling projects developed by municipalities under the New Plastic Act at major business locations nationwide, further promoting plastic waste recycling and contributing to the formation of a recycling-based society.
