We will cooperate with the "Cup Recycling Challenge", a consumer participation type paper cup recycling awareness event held at the "Cup Recycling Challenge".
Chiba City Zoological Park sells beer in paper cups. Visitors who enjoy beer will use the "Re-CUP WASHER®" cup washing machine developed by Tocan Kogyo at the food and beverage venue, sort and collect the paper cups, and Nippon Paper Industries recycle the collected paper cups intocontainerboards.
Used paper cups are designated as contraindicated items in the classification of Waste Paper by the Waste PaperRecycling Promotion Center, and are usually incinerated as general waste. However, in response to the recent market demand forpaper cartonsrecycling, Tocan Kogyo and NIPPON PAPER GROUP are aiming to recycle newly usedpaper cartons.
This business cooperation in Chiba City is carried out as part of an awareness-raising activity to deepen consumers' correct understanding of usedpaper cartonsrecycling.
By experiencing washing paper cups, consumers will feel that they have participated in new recycling activities,Employee Retentionto establish a society of usedpaper cartonsrecycling.
