Case Study 3: Styrofoam Volume Reduction Machine RE-E201 ■Industry: Recycling Business ■Application: Volume reduction of Styrofoam 【Customer's Challenges】 Founded in 1979 on Miyako Island, Okinawa Prefecture, the company has built a strong track record in the collection and processing of waste, including iron scrap, and has been protecting the environment of Miyako Island for over 20 years. They are particularly recognized by many customers on the island for properly processing approximately 7,000 abandoned vehicles, which had been a long-standing issue due to processing technology and transportation costs from remote islands, and for exporting them off the island. While the company has supported waste processing and recycling on Miyako Island, they had no means to materially recycle Styrofoam. With the increase in tourists, the waste problem has become more pronounced, and the handling of bulky Styrofoam has become a significant challenge for the company. *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.*

■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.
