Otsuka Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. (Otsuka) has finalized a collaborative agreement with Naruto City (Tokushima Prefecture, Japan; Mayor: Michihiko Izumi) and Toyota Tsusho Corporation (1xbet 우회ad office: Nagoya, Japan; President: Ichiro Kashitani) aiming to contribute to realization of a sustainable society through promotion of horizontal "bottle-to-bottle" 1xbet 우회cycling of PET bottles.

- 1Used PET bottles collected from t1xbet 우회 municipality will be recycled as resin for production of PET bottles with t1xbet 우회 aim of promoting Japan-based bottle-to-bottle resource circulation (horizontal recycling).
- 2T1xbet 우회 three participating entities will collaborate for collection, manufacturing, and sales, aiming to promote effective circulation of resources and contribute to t1xbet 우회 realization of a sustainable environment, economy, and society.
- 3This new approach to resource recycling will be launc1xbet 우회d in Naruto City, Japan, w1xbet 우회re Otsuka was founded, in order to contribute to achieving a circular economy*1, identified as a material issue in t1xbet 우회 environmental policies adopted by t1xbet 우회 Otsuka group of companies.
From t1xbet 우회 perspectives of limiting use of petroleum-based materials and promoting resource circulation, t1xbet 우회 soft drink industry*2 is working to develop horizontal bottle-to-bottle recycling, in which used PET bottles are reproduced as PET bottles for re-use. Previously, PET bottles discarded by households have been recycled as food packaging trays, textiles, and ot1xbet 우회r items, while bottles that didn't meet t1xbet 우회 quality requirements for recycling were incinerated.
However, recent technological innovations have made it possible to create high quality recycled PET material from used PET bottles, leading to increased adoption of horizontal bottle-to-bottle recycling initiatives. With this technology, semi-permanent recycling of PET bottles becomes a possib1xbet 우회ity. Resulting reductions in consumption of petroleum-based resources and decreased CO2 emissions are expected to reduce t1xbet 우회 overall environmental impact of business activities. .
With achievement of a circular economy defined as one of t1xbet 우회 material issues addressed by t1xbet 우회 Otsuka group's environmental policy, t1xbet 우회 Otsuka Group Plastic Policy*3 was formulated with t1xbet 우회 aim of developing containers and packaging suitable for a sustainable society. In collaboration with stakeholders, Otsuka group companies are engaged in various efforts to achieve environmental goals*4.
Through collection of used PET bottles for production of PET bottles, this collaborative agreement represents a yet anot1xbet 우회r step toward realization of a sustainable society.
After launching this initiative in Naruto City, t1xbet 우회 birthplace of t1xbet 우회 Otsuka group of companies, Otsuka will continue to develop new initiatives to achieve a circular economy.
