カジノオンライン (Toyota Tsusho), in collaboration withVeolia Japan KK(Veolia Japan) andKojima Sangyo Co, Ltd(Kojima Sangyo), jointly established PLANIC Co, Ltd (PLANIC) The new company, which is to be Japan's largest recycled カジノプロジェクト processing company, will collect mixed カジノプロジェクト from recycling and other facilities, sort and compound* mixed カジノプロジェクト based on material type to recycle them back into カジノプロジェクト raw materials

1 Background

At present, a large volume of used カジノプロジェクト is treated as waste This has become a global issue as it is a cause of environmental pollution In Japan, there are two types of カジノプロジェクト recycling: thermal recycling plastics for use as a heat energy source and material recycling for reuse to manufacture カジノプロジェクト products Much of the waste カジノプロジェクト in Japan is not used efficiently, including simply being incinerated, dumped into landfills, or exported overseas In Japan, the 3R’s campaign—Reduce, Reuse and Recycle—is being carried out to promote the recycling of カジノプロジェクト resources However, there are critical issues, including the acquisition of necessary sorting techniques and improvement to operational efficiency, that stand in the way of the spread and enhancement of material recycling—ie turning plastics back into カジノプロジェクト raw material

2 Summary

PLANIC, which was jointly established by カジノプロジェクト, Veolia Japan and Kojima Sangyo, will not only recycle used plastic from automobiles and home appliances, but will also carry out the material recycling of product plastic, which includes used palettes and containers, and packaging materials from distribution centers and shopping centers, to return them to their raw material state As the collected plastic is a mixture of various different types of plastics, one issue is that they have to be sorted by material Galloo Plastics SA, which possesses a plastic Car to Car recycling technology, licensed the necessary technology, (Machinery provider is Ad Rem NV) PLANIC’s goal is to process high quality recycled plastic at a low cost by being the first in Japan to utilize an advanced gravity separation technology

3 Future Development

PLANIC will operate an environmentally-friendly business The company aims to launch operations in 2021, with the goal of annually recycling roughly 40,000 tons of plastics, taken mainly from automobiles and home appliances The raw material in the majority of カジノプロジェクト products is petroleum Promoting the recycling of plastics will also contribute to a reduction in the CO2emitted at the time the petrochemical products are produced Through the operations carried out by PLANIC, カジノプロジェクト, Veolia Japan and Kojima Sangyo will contribute to the promotion of resource recycling and a reduction in environmental impact
