J&T Recycling Corporation (President: Hiroyuki Haseba, Headquarters: Yokohama City, Kanagawa Prefecture, hereinafter "J&T Recycling"), a group company of JFE Engineering Corporation (President: Kazumi Fukuda, Headquarters: Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo, hereinafter "JFE Engineering"), has signed a cooperation agreement regarding "bottle-to-bottle" horizontal recycling initiatives with Ota City, Tokyo, Suntory Holdings Limited (President: Takeshi Niinami, Headquarters: Osaka City), Suntory Beverage & Food Limited (President: Makiko Ono, Headquarters: Minato-ku, Tokyo), and Teraoka Seiko Co., Ltd. (President: Kosuke Yamamoto, Headquarters: Ota City, Tokyo).
This agreement has been established to promote "Ota City Carbon Neutrality" toward achieving a carbon-free society by 2050. It aims to form a sustainable recycling-based society through mutual cooperation between Ota City and the four companies to enhance PET bottle recycling through "bottle-to-bottle" horizontal recycling.
Used PET bottles collected from all 420,000 households in Ota City, along with those collected through newly installed volume reduction collection machines at the main government building, will be processed into flakes as bottle material by J&T Recycling. Subsequently, partner companies will manufacture recycled PET resin through mechanical recycling, which will then be made into new PET bottles. Through this initiative, PET bottles used by district residents will be continuously circulated as sustainable resources.
The JFE Engineering Group will continue to collaborate with local communities to further promote resource circulation and contribute to forming a recycling-based society.
