「The Company is promoting further resource recovery by using various sorting lines, including post-shearing dust-sorting lines and resin-sorting lines, as well as the shredder-dust resource-recovery line at the Mibu site, which began operating in August 2025.」
The start of operations at the shredder-dust recycling line gave concrete form to the implementation of sorting and recycling technologies in business facilities. - FY2025AdvancedAnnual report
「Specific R&D themes include recycling technologies for difficult-to-process waste such as wallpaper, disposable diapers, and incineration ash; CCU (note) technology, being co-developed with universities, to produce functional chemicals from CO2 derived from exhaust gas; technologies for producing recycled plastic and biomass plastic; and technology for producing new solid fuel from woody waste.」
Specific research themes for recycling unused resources were identified, including wallpaper, disposable diapers, incineration ash, CCU, recycled plastic, biomass plastic, and solid fuel. - FY2025-H1RestatedAnnual report
「We are promoting efficient and effective sorting using resource-recycling equipment, including the resin sorting line at リバー（株）'s Nasu facility, and working to secure earnings by reducing dust-processing costs and increasing the volume of valuable materials after sorting.」
Efforts to reduce processing costs and increase the volume of valuable materials by using resource-recycling equipment such as resin sorting lines are continuing. - FY2024-Q1AdvancedAnnual report
「By introducing a resin sorting line at リバー（株）'s Nasu facility and a dedicated electronic-waste shredding line at its Higashimatsuyama facility, we are working to secure earnings by improving the efficiency and effectiveness of sorting, reducing the processing costs of dust and other materials, and increasing sales of valuable materials after sorting.」
Resin sorting and dedicated electronic-waste shredding lines were introduced, advancing equipment implementation aimed at improving sorting efficiency, reducing processing costs, and increasing sales of valuable materials. - FY2023-Q2AdvancedAnnual report
「In addition to the completion of the disaster-waste treatment support business in the previous fiscal year, イコールゼロ（株） posted lower revenue and profit as waste-liquid volumes remained sluggish due to reduced semiconductor production. However, its high-value-added technology for extracting rare metals has proved effective, and the company is working to secure profit.」
The contribution of rare-metal extraction technology to actual profit generation was indicated, demonstrating concrete results from implementing resource-recycling technology in the business. - FY2023-Q1RestatedAnnual report
「At intermediate treatment facilities, we continue to recover valuable materials through thorough sorting of waste, add value to and commercialize outbound materials by producing solid recovered fuel RPF and auxiliary steelmaking materials from waste plastics and other materials, and undertake related initiatives.」
Continued measures were indicated to recycle unused resources through sorting, recovery of valuable materials, production of RPF and auxiliary steelmaking materials, and commercialization. - FY2022-Q3First statedAnnual report
「The Group will promote the recycling of unused resources for the purpose of recovering, sorting, blending, and molding resources, developing energy conversion technologies, and entering new business fields. This will draw on technologies for recovering valuable materials such as rare metals, high-efficiency power generation through the removal of inhibiting substances, chemical recycling, and other technologies.」
Specific areas identified for new technology development included rare-metal recovery, high-efficiency power generation, chemical recycling, and the recycling of unused resources.
