Japan Pulp and Paper : Corelex Shin-Ei Makes Toilet Paper from G7 Summit Waste

Paper containers used for mineral water are coated with aluminum to prevent deterioration due to leakage and light penetration, and because it is difficult to separate the aluminum from the paper fibers, they are generally incinerated instead of recycled. However, with its proprietary technology, Corelex Shin-Ei is able to separate the materials and extract only the paper fibers during the manufacturing process, even when the aluminum is adhered to the paper, and the cap is attached. Furthermore, the company has also established a recycling process for the separated foreign matter, and are achieving zero emissions.
