[Case Study] Successful "Monetization" of Waste Plastics through Sensor Utilization! Japan Special Ceramics Co., Ltd.

The introduction of the RICOH handheld sensor has successfully converted about 20% of waste plastic into "valuable materials."

We would like to introduce a case study of the introduction of the "RICOH Resin Identification Handheld Sensor" at Nippon Tokushu Tōgyō Co., Ltd. At the company's Komaki plant, 111 tons of waste plastic are generated annually, and until now, thermal recycling has been conducted. However, the company has decided to aim for the monetization of waste plastic. After the introduction of the RICOH handheld sensor, it became possible to accurately sort materials, allowing for the monetization of 20 tons of waste plastic out of the 111 tons. 【Previous Challenges】 - The company aimed to transition from thermal recycling of 111 tons of waste plastic to monetization. - To have recyclers accept the materials at a value, sorting by material type is necessary, but manual sorting has its limitations. - There was a lack of awareness about sorting waste that could be monetized among the production staff, necessitating a change in mindset across various production departments. *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us. ★ Webinar Announcement! ★ We will also hold a webinar introducing other case studies.
