By allowing anyone to easily distinguish materials based on the same criteria, we have made it possible to prevent the contamination of RPF solid fuel with PVC (polyvinyl chloride).
Plastic Material Identification Device Case Study 1 ■Industry: Waste Disposal Contractor ■Application: Prevention of PVC (vinyl chloride) and PET contamination in RPF solid fuel, etc. 【Customer's Challenges】 The company, engaged in the disposal of industrial and general waste, performs material recycling for plastics that can be reused and thermal recycling for those that cannot be reused. For the latter, on-site workers are responsible for sorting PVC, but the accuracy varies depending on the experience of the workers, which has been a source of concern. Additionally, items that cannot be identified visually are checked using a vinyl checker with a flame color reaction, and in some cases, the smell of smoke when burned is used for judgment, which poses a risk to the health of employees. *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 gained 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 desire, 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 a "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, industries that collect, recycle, reuse, process, and dispose of waste are referred to as "venous industries," likening them to the circulation of blood in the human body.
