In order to meet the environmental challenges that we face today, we must transform our socio-economic system of mass production, mass consumption and mass disposal to one of resource circulation.
Aiming to realize this transformation, cooperative research initiatives between industry, academia, government and the private sector are being undertaken to develop recycling technologies and related public systems. The Research Center for Recycling Systems was established as a centralized base to provide support for such initiatives.
