Circular Economy Solution

Pantech is a KANPURA (Plastic Circulation) production company that creates new value with plastic resources not only in Japan, but all over the world. The importance of SDGs and ESG is increasing, and through its one-stop, full support of KANPURA (Plastic Circulation) for business and society, Pantech promotes both plastic resource circulation and a circular economy.

As its core business since establishment, Pantech has collected plastic scrap generated from production processes (preconsumer) and plastic scrap generated by consumers (post consumer), converted it into recycled plastic raw material, and distributed it in both Japan and overseas. It has the number one share in terms of  selling volume in Japan and including large manufacturers, is doing business with over 1,500 customers. [phase 01]

In recent years, the importance of SDG’s and ESG is increasing due to the deterioration of the environment causing a large-scale acceleration towards a circular economy that considers the environment. Not only plastic recycling, but the construction of a recycle scheme that considers the environment is also becoming a large topic for discussion today. In order to promote a circular economy, Pantech has formed  a special group dedicated to constructing closed loop solutions and aims to implement plastic circulation at not only the corporate level, but society level as well.

However, to realize this vision, it is essential to adopt circular design that considers the products recyclability before the product is manufactured. Of course, product design change is not easy, however, Pantech will provide extensive circular design support throughout the research and development process [phase 00]

As mentioned above, Pantech’s business fields extend to the whole life cycle of plastic products.
