History
For over 45 years, we have worked with our customers to make circular recycling the sustainable reality.
Our starting point was the passion of our founder, Shigehira Inukai. Shortly after the company was founded, the world was hit by an oil crisis, and he was thinking how to cover the shortage of raw materials inJ.apan.
At that time, when he saw the black smoke rising from the Tsukiji market, Shigehira noticed that the plastic was being burned there. Large amount of Styrofoam waste and shortage of raw materials in Japan. Shigehira continued to propose a business plan to solve the problem by connecting these two, but the days when no one dealt with him continued.
After thinking about it, he devisedJ.-EPS recycling business model, but people still doubted him. His determination and actions, which he continued to persuade by going to the Tsukiji market every day, gradually gained the trust of those around him, and finally the recycling system was born.
With an orbital recycling system, recycled resources have crossed the ocean and become a global recycling circle.
When there was a big change in the overseas situation, we overcame it together with our customers and became today's achievement.
