Working to make our 'Future City' a reality.

Our mission is to facilitate glass recycling. We have been in the business of glass materials processing since July 2011, based in Hibiki-machi, Wakamatsu Ward, Kitakyushu City. The area is close to industrial complexes and a container terminal, and serves as an import-export base for glass materials to and from all over Asia and beyond.

With the support of three glass cullet wholesalers, Iimuro Glass in Kanagawa and Aichi Prefectures, and Sano Glass Recycling and Toyo Cullet, both in Hyogo Prefecture, we can deliver to glass manufacturers of all kinds.
Further, belonging to nationwide trade associations, we have access to recycling networks not just in Kyushu, but all over Japan, and so can respond to any kind of demand for glass cullet.

We obtained our license for intermediate treatment of industrial waste in June 2012.
Thanks to the understanding and cooperation of waste producers, it has become possible to recycle not only everyday glass items such as drink bottles, but also high-tech glass products; industrial glass such as quartz and popular items such as solar panels and smartphone screens.
Through glass recycling, we will continue to strive towards making Kitakyushu a ‘Future City.’
