Amount of collection according to delivery destination of PET bottle

The recycling net in the country of a used PET bottle has been faced to the crisis of the collapse. It is because the number of cases that are not handed over to the reprocess trader by cities, towns, and villages that collected, and exported to China through an entrepreneur outside recognition has increased. The maintenance of the reproduction and the system of re-commercialization that fills the safety standard is requested while the demand for the PET bottle as the resource rises because of the crude oil sudden rise.

- Minus tender

It is - rule that participates in the tender of Ri society by the entrepreneur who receives the recognition of * designated corporation that hands it over to the Japanese container wrapping recycling society of *"Designated corporation" in which cities, towns, and villages collect used PET bottles in discretion (Ri society), is received, and recycled in Containers and Packaging Recycling Law of enforcement (Ri method) in 1997.

PET bottles abandoned domestically are 500,000 tons a year. Among these, the amount in which discretion is collected in cities, towns, and villages is in the increasing tendency, and the Ministry of the Environment expects 316,000 tons in 20 fiscal year.

It falls into "Minus tender" that receives and pays Ryou oppositely for 18 years though it undertakes the tender that receives a used PET bottle from cities, towns, and villages, and the recycling manufacture had received the consignment fee from Ri society. It is because the number of cities, towns, and villages that sell it off to the recognition fieldwork person who buys it higher than the reprocess trader has increased outside the frame of Ri method.

The amount of export of "PET rubbish" in 18 fiscal year is 280,000 tons according to customs statistics, and the majority extend to China including Hong Kong. 80 percent of export for China thinks, "Isn't it a used PET bottle?" in the PET bottle recycling promotion conference

The Shicacokicouhal chairman of abolition PET bottle re-commercialization conference that composes of 43 recognition entrepreneur companies｢A used PET bottle is waste to the last. I want you to deal based on consisting on cooperation and the tax of the taxpayer. (As original processing. )There are a lot of municipalities that misunderstand it when you may sell it off. ｣It speaks.

- Alternative material

In the background that China imports a used PET bottle, it is large that demand as an alternative material of the resin has risen because of the sudden rise of the price of crude oil.

However, it is becoming a serious problem for the recognition entrepreneur of the reprocess as the Neki industry (Sakai City) that handles the reproduction goods making from a used PET bottle to the carpet files for court-mandated rehabilitation by the liabilities 9.3 billion yen on July 18. This company says that they promptly worked on abolition pet's reproduction business according to the Teikoku Data Bank Osaka branch office.

The purchase cost of 220 million yen is generated last year after the equipment reinforcement is started staring at the processing amount improvement, and the business model has collapsed. The Kojima industry (Osaka Prefecture Tadaoka-cho) that develops a similar business doesn't conceal the expression of "Considerable tough going" and suffering either.

Because it is the country and the reproduction processing facilities of a used PET bottle were the lack feelings when Ri method is enforced, a private reprocess entrepreneur has details that receive the request of the municipality and straighten equipment. If an original clearance is established even if the amount of the separated garbage collection in cities, towns, and villages increases, it is situation that might become "The ladder was removed" shape for the reprocess entrepreneur.
