Explanation of technologies and business models

In the printing process, registration, color adjustments, and other steps generate printed materials that cannot be used as finished products (waste paper). Waste paper generated at our company is separated according to the type of material used, shredded to prevent customer information from being leaked, and then collected by recycling companies. After being recycled into raw materials at each recycling company, the waste paper is delivered to paper manufacturers, where it is regenerated as new products or as refuse derived fuel (RPF) for making products.
