Packaging & Recycling（Circular Economy）
Recycling Materials & Packages
We work to minimize our environmental impact by collecting and recycling waste generated at each stage of the product life cycle wherever possible. Our initiatives include reducing waste from production, minimizing product disposal loss through inventory control, horizontal recycling of empty containers, and adopting environmentally friendly packaging materials.
Recycling of Plant Waste
Recycling waste materials at our plants, we sort and recycle waste materials generated by production to continuously aim to achieve zero waste emissions. Coffee grounds and tea leaves constitute the bulk of our generated waste materials, and we have achieved 100% and 100% recycle rates for them, respectively, as fertilizer or animal feed.
Working with the local government and members of academia, the Tokai Plant is also pursuing research into a way to efficiently reuse coffee grounds and tea leaves.

Recycling Vending Machines
We recycle vending machines that are taken out of service for disposal. Such vending machines are collected at our company's facilities, dismantled and sorted according to waste material type, and the chlorofluorocarbon is appropriately disposed.
