[Case of Styrofoam Reduction Machine] Reducing transportation costs by processing in-house.
RE-E201
By processing expanded polystyrene in-house, we have reduced waste transportation costs. Selling ingots has made it possible to generate new revenue.
Case Study 1: EPS Reduction Machine RE-E201 ■Industry: Waste Management ■Application: Reduction of Expanded Polystyrene 【Customer's Challenges】 The company, engaged in the collection and processing of used paper and a wide range of recycling efforts in Hiroshima Prefecture, collects approximately 500 to 1,000 kg of expanded polystyrene monthly from nearby supermarkets and retail stores. In the past, they transported the collected expanded polystyrene to other waste management companies with reduction facilities, but they faced issues with securing storage space in their own factory and the high transportation costs associated with bulky expanded polystyrene. *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.*

Company information
■Introduction Yamamoto Manufacturing Co., Ltd. is a machinery manufacturer founded in 1918 in Tendo City, Yamagata Prefecture. We have achieved the top market share in Japan for agricultural machinery, particularly grain dryers and straw cutters. "Because we are a company that has walked alongside agriculture, we want to contribute to improving the global environment that supports food production." This aspiration, combined with our cultivated technology, led to the creation of the polystyrene reduction machine "High Melter." Through the provision of our products, we aim to create a bright future for the industry together with those who are challenging themselves in the recycling industry (*). That is our mission. ■Thoughts on Development The concept of the "circular economy," which views discarded items as resources and aims to circulate resources without generating waste, is gaining attention. However, the recycling industry (*), which plays a significant role in this, does not receive much public interest, and many companies are struggling with labor shortages. Through manufacturing, we want to shine a spotlight on this industry and bring about change. This is the sentiment embedded in all the environmental equipment produced by Yamamoto Manufacturing Co., Ltd. (*) In contrast to the "arterial industries" that produce goods, the industries that collect, recycle, reuse, process, and dispose of waste are referred to as "venous industries," likening them to the circulation of human blood.
