Plastic waste

Project to promote the introduction of facilities for the effective utilization of plastic and metal resources in a decarbonized way

As for " Project to promote the introduction of facilities for the effective utilization of plastic and metal resources in a decarbonized way " plans to reduce energy-origin carbon dioxide emission from the whole recycling processes of used products and plan introduction of facilities for advanced resource recycling that will improve the quality of recycling and manufacturing facilities for materials derived from renewable resources that can replace conventional fossil resource-derived plastics.
The purpose is to contribute to realize decarburized society and to the effective utilization of resources.
The subsidy will be provided up to 1/2 of the cost of introducing facilities for advanced resource recycling to build a decarbonized society.

The project to promote the achievement of multi-benefits for decarbonization through the effective use of waste energy

The JWRF has implemented the financial assistance project to achieve multi-benefits such as regional resilience improvement, revitalization by recycling resources and energy within the region and prevention of outflow of funds to the outside of the region.
To be certified this project it was required for a private company to introduce facilities for highly efficient energy recovery of waste heat and production of fuel from waste, and to conclude an agreement with the local government on the receiving of disaster waste.

Program on the promotion of advanced resource recycling equipment installation for building of a decarbonized society

The JWRF is implementing financial assistance program on the installation of advanced resource recycling equipment for CO2 emission reduction. The purpose of this program is to reduce the emission of energy-derived CO2 in the entire recycling process of end-of-life products, as well as to quantitatively expand products that could not be recycled in the past, or to supply higher-quality recycled materials.
