Realizing a Circular Economy

“Efficient and reduced use of resources” is part of our Environmental Policy, and we designated “resource recycling” as a material issue. We are contributing to the creation of a resource recycling society by working to reduce waste and protect forest resources throughout society including through the wastepaper recycling, recycled paper manufacturing, and comprehensive recycling businesses.

Wastepaper Recycling

We promote the reuse and stable supply of wastepaper as a raw material for paper manufacturing. Since our full-scale entry into the wastepaper recycling business in 1973, we have expanded operations throughout Japan, and some business sites have acquired security certifications for processing confidential documents. Outside of Japan, we drew on the experience and know-how cultivated in Japan to expand into the United States in 1998. We have since commenced operations in India as well, working to strengthen our ability to collect and ship wastepaper. Currently, we have 28 wastepaper yards in Japan and in countries around the world, and are working to expand our global wastepaper collection network.
