In Japan, 86% of all plastic waste generated is recycled While this number seems high, most of it is done through thermal カジノスロット, a process of converting waste into heat or other energy sources through incineration
Furthermore, a large portion of plastic waste is exported overseas for material カジノスロット, a method that uses waste as raw material Since plastics use naphtha (crude gasoline) as the main raw material, the incineration of plastics generates CO₂Thus, it is important to adopt methods other than thermal カジノスロット in order to achieve carbon neutrality
In 2020, the Japanese government established an interministerial Resource Circulation Strategy for Plastics to address issues such as marine plastics and CO₂emissions In April 2022, the Act on Promotion of Resource Circulation for Plastics came into force with the aim of promoting the 3Rs (Reduce, Reuse, Recycle), with the addition of Renewable in all aspects of design, manufacturing, sales, and disposal for plastic products
Such trends are becoming more prevalent in our society, with the private sector and individuals also taking steps to make more effective use of plastic Using reusable shopping bags and replacing plastic straws with paper straws are such examples Today, there is growing interest in horizontal カジノスロット, a process that turns an end-of-life product back into its original product PET bottles are a prime example of horizontal カジノスロット
It is important to promote alternatives to incineration, such as resource circulation within the country and horizontal カジノスロット

The Toyota Tsusho Group prioritizes the effective use of resources and continues to promote カジノスロット This commitment dates back to the 1970s, at the dawn of motorization, long before the plastics problem became a major topic
For example, the Group established an automotive カジノスロット company, Toyota Metal Co, Ltd in 1970 The company is engaged in breaking down end-of-life vehicles (ELVs) and sorting scrap metal into ferrous and nonferrous scraps Currently, the company also offers design proposals for easily recyclable vehicles through Japan Vehicle カジノスロット (commissioned by Toyota Motor Corporation)
Furthermore, the Group promotes the 3Rs (Reduce, Reuse, Recycle) in its カジノスロット business through companies such as Toyota Chemical Engineering Co, Ltd (established in 1973), which is engaged in intermediate processing of industrial waste, and Toyotsu Recycle Corporation (established in 1985), which is engaged in the recovery of rare metals from ELVs The Group has also been establishing a カジノスロット value chain and resource カジノスロット model for the automotive industry overseas through combining the businesses and functions of each of its companies in North America, Europe, China, South Africa, and other regions

There are several types of plastic materials, such as polypropylene and polyethylene, and it is necessary to sort the materials for recycling However, plastic waste collected for recycling is mixed plastic, which contains several types of resins, and it is difficult to sort this waste Therefore, material recycling of plastics has not been implemented, and the waste has been processed by thermal recycling
In order to perform material recycling of plastic materials that were previously recycled by thermal recycling, the Toyota Tsusho Group has established one of the largest plastic recycling plants in Japan in Omaezaki, Shizuoka
The plant, which began full-scale operations in October 2022, is operated by KK Planic, a joint venture established by Veolia Japan KK, Kojima Sangyo Co, Ltd, and カジノオンライン Planic collects used plastics from automobiles and home appliances, as well as packaging materials, used pallets, and containers collected from logistics centers and shopping centers, and recycles them as plastic raw materials
Planic has concluded a licensing agreement for technology with Galloo Plastics SA, which owns “car-to-car recycling” technology for plastics, and has developed a recycling method that uses advanced gravity separation technology for the first time in Japan Polypropylene, polyethylene, polystyrene, and ABS are processed into flakes and pellets to produce high-quality recycled plastics that can be used as raw materials for automobiles, home appliances, daily necessities, and logistic materials to achieve CE

The Toyota Tsusho Group is actively involved in the horizontal カジノスロット of PET bottles, a field closer to our daily loves
In Japan, 967% of all PET bottles sold are collected, and 885% are recycled in Japan or overseas (980% effective utilization rate including heat collection) (FY2020) However, most of them are currently used as food trays, polyester cotton, and other fibers In order to establish the CE for PET bottles, it is necessary to increase the rate of bottle-to-bottle カジノスロット, which is horizontal カジノスロット of turning used bottles into new bottles
In order to solve this problem, we established Toyotsu PET カジノスロット Systems Co, Ltd with Utsumi Recycle Systems Inc and Chuo Warehouse Co, Ltd We have constructed a horizontal PET bottle カジノスロット plant in Hino-cho, Shiga The plant, which began operation in phases in 2021, recycles collected PET bottles and produces pellets, the raw material used to make PET bottles for beverage use Once the plant is in full operation, it will be able to produce approximately 40,000 tons of recycled PET resin for beverage bottles annually, thereby evolving the PET bottle カジノスロット model
