In the resource circulation strategy, a policy has been established to reuse and recycle 60% of container packaging by 2030 and 100% of used plastics by 2035. ＼Do you have any of these concerns?／ 【1】It is difficult to recycle used blue sheets. 【2】Reuse is not progressing due to foreign matter contamination and quality deterioration. 【3】Quality and durability decrease after recycling. These concerns can be addressed with Hagiwara Industry's "Blue Sheet Recycling"! Through the development of equipment for collection, analysis, washing, separation, filtration, and modification of used sheets, we have achieved horizontal recycling of our own products. While "cascade recycling," which changes the product's application before and after recycling, is said to have a relatively short lifespan, "horizontal recycling," which maintains the same application before and after recycling, is considered beneficial for the formation of a circular society as it can be used for a longer time. Through these efforts, we have completed the "TarpeeReVALUE+ Sheet #2500," which contains more than 25% recycled material and obtained an eco-mark, drawing attention as a concrete initiative toward a circular society.

The mass balance method (i.e., material balance method) is a concept applied in various industries such as paper and plastics. It is a technique used when manufacturing products by mixing raw materials with and without certain characteristics, where a portion of the produced product is assigned the characteristics based on the amount of the raw material with those characteristics that is inputted. Reasons why mass balance method biomass plastics are expected: ○ Equivalent physical properties to conventional products Since there is no difference in physical properties compared to conventional products, they can be used while maintaining existing equipment and processing conditions. ○ 100% biomass ratio Biomass plastics produced using the mass balance method can be considered to have a 100% biomass ratio. ○ Possibility of obtaining eco-mark certification In September 2022, it was announced that eco-mark certification could also be obtained for biomass plastics produced using the mass balance method. ○ Expectations for increased raw material volume and supply stability Current production is said to be around 600,000 to 700,000 tons per year, and it is expected to potentially double or more in the next five years, making it a promising option for stable supply of bioplastics.
