Equipment (partitions, etc.) for measures against COVID-19 infections that are no longer needed

Last Updated May 11, 2023

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

Of the equipment used as a countermeasure against COVID-19 infection at stores and offices, those that cannot be stored or are no longer needed for infection control, please take appropriate measures as follows.
Example of equipment: Partitions, temperature detectors, carbon dioxide concentration measuring instruments, 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, heat recovery should be as efficient as possible for those that can recover heat.

Appropriate treatment

If the above cannot be implemented, entrust the disposal to a company that has a license for the industrial waste disposal business.


Appropriate separation

Proper sorting is required to contribute to the promotion of recycling and heat recovery.

※Example of partition
 It is desirable to remove parts (metal stands, etc.) of materials different from partitions (such as metal stands) and remove dirt and foreign substances (adhesives, tapes, etc.) in advance by dividing them into partition materials (acrylic (PMMA), vinyl chloride (PVC), polycarbonate (PC), etc.).
 If you do not know the material of the partition, you may be able to confirm it by contacting the source of the partition.
