Established in 1996, Pantech is a Japanese company that provides comprehensive waste plastic recycling services. It specializes in collecting plastic scrap generated by the consumer goods industry, before converting it into recycled plastic raw material and distributing it domestically and internationally.
"Plastic has a lot of different types, from general purpose resins such as polyethylene terephthalate (PET) and polypropylene (PP), all the way to engineered plastics such as carbon-fiber-reinforced polymers (CFRP)," says Masaaki Kuroki, Pantech's president. "There are many kinds of plastic waste, so we have developed various solutions for the collection. these different plastics."
Based in Otsu City, Shiga Prefecture, Pantech is a fabless company, working with partner recycling factories both in Japan and overseas. In all, the firm currently boasts a network of some 50 partner recycling plants - a total that is always rising. "As we increase the number of partnerships we have, we can also increase the volume of recycling that we can do," Mr. Kuroki notes. "This will grow our business and lead to further contributions to the environment."
