JFE Engineering’s core recycling business subsidiary JFE Kankyo has started to construct a new recycling facility in Sendai and will launch three new recycling projects next April.
The subsidiary will invest $18 million to build the facility.
The new projects will be a plastic container and package recycling project to manufacture plastic pallets and pellets, a fluorescent light recycling project to recycle ferrule and glass, and a scarp wood recycling project to recycle scrap wood as a raw material for paper manufacturers.
The plastic container and package recycling project will process 18,000 tons of plastics per year, the fluorescent light recycling project will have an annual processing capacity of 1,200 tons, and the scrap wood recycling project will recycle 18,000 tons of scarp wood annually.
