OUR BUSINESS

PET Products

Our aim is to expand our trading in PET resin for beverage and
condiment bottles and food tray containers, and to become one of
the top traders in PET resin both in Japan and globally.

The main products we handle

Recycled PET resins

We are expanding into the field of environmentally friendly business. There is increasing momentum for the recycling of PET resin, in particular that used in PET bottles for beverages. Global manufacturers of consumer goods, beverages and foodstuffs have set a goal of boosting the recycling ratio of plastic materials used in products by the period between 2025 and 2030. However, the supply of recycled PET resins being manufactured around the world is still insufficient. In response to such needs, the PET Resins Division, in collaboration with Mitsubishi Corporation, has started to deal in recycled PET resins and helping to create a recycling-oriented society.

Mitsubishi Corporation press release: “Mitsubishi Corporation Joins PET Chemical Recycling Business”: Mitsubishi Corporation has an accepted a third-party allotment of shares in Thai Shinkong Industry Corporation Ltd., a company in Thailand that is expanding its manufacture of PET resin for beverage bottles.

Environmental awareness

- Recycling-oriented business

There are many different kinds of plastics. In many cases, the PET resins we handle are used as mono-materials, mainly for PET bottles and food tray containers. This makes them easier to recycle than other resins. Thanks to their collection by Japanese municipalities, and at supermarkets and convenience stores, approximately 80% of the domestic PET bottle demand is recycled into products. As a company that deals in plastics, we aim to expand our business into the recycling sector, and are discussing the expansion of operations into recycle-oriented business.
