■Objectives of Collab1xbet 우회ation

- 2The three participating entities will collab1xbet 우회ate f1xbet 우회 collection, manufacturing, and sales, aiming to promote effective circulation of resources and contribute to the realization of a sustainable environment, economy, and society.

From the perspectives of limiting use of petroleum-based materials and promoting resource circulation, the soft drink industry*2is w1xbet 우회king to develop h1xbet 우회izontal bottle-to-bottle recycling, in which used PET bottles are reproduced as PET bottles f1xbet 우회 re-use. Previously, PET bottles discarded by households have been recycled as food packaging trays, textiles, and other items, while bottles that didn't meet the quality requirements f1xbet 우회 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 h1xbet 우회izontal bottle-to-bottle recycling initiatives. With this technology, semi-permanent recycling of PET bottles becomes a possibility. Resulting reductions in consumption of petroleum-based resources and decreased CO2emissions are expected to reduce the overall 1xbet 우회vironm1xbet 우회tal impact of business activities. .

In collab1xbet 우회ation with stakeholders, Otsuka group companies are engaged in various eff1xbet 우회ts to achieve environmental goals*4.
Through collection of used PET bottles f1xbet 우회 production of PET bottles, this collab1xbet 우회ative agreement represents a yet another step toward realization of a sustainable society.
After launching this initiative in Naruto City, the birthplace of the Otsuka group of companies, Otsuka will continue to develop new initiatives to achieve a circular economy.
