City companies are developing a recycling business that sorts and crush waste plastics and manufacture alternative fuels for coal through joint field surveys with the city and the spread and demonstration projects of JICA. In May 2017, the company established a new waste plastic recycling plant with the support of the Ministry of the Environment. We will continue to make use of the company's experience and other waste issues, such as the tightness of the landfill.
