If the equipment used for infection control is no longer needed, please reuse and recycle.

For equipment that was used as a countermeasure against COVID-19 infection at stores and offices, those that cannot be stored or no longer needed for infection control measures, please take appropriate measures as follows.
Example of equipment: Partitions, temperature detectors, carbon dioxide concentration measurement devices, face shields, etc.

Disposal of equipment for infection control

Reuse

Please use it effectively by selling it as a reused product.

Recycling  

If it cannot be used effectively, please recycle those that can be recycled.

Heat recovery

If recycling is not possible, collect heat recovery as efficiently as possible for those that can recover heat.

Proper Treatment

If the above cannot be implemented, entrust the disposal to a contractor with a license for the industrial waste disposal business.
