Environmental Activities
The Ecology & Recycling Business Dept. and the Ecology Business Development Dept. are leading Hanwa’s environmental business. We are establishing an environmental business capable of providing highly effective system solutions far into the future.


Recycling age

Many of the leading companies that are Hanwa’s customers have implemented systems to virtually eliminate waste (zero emissions) or contract waste disposal companies to perform appropriate recycling of waste. Internationally, ISO 14001 certification for environmental management systems is increasingly viewed as the hallmark of a well-run company.

Hanwa’s recycling business offers practical solutions that give companies a decisive competitive advantage.

The Ecology Business Development Dept. is engaged in resale and recycling of used office automation equipment and other office equipment as well as resale and recycling of fixtures and fittings that are retired from use due to relocation, closure or refurbishment of shopping centers, hotels or offices. We have established the Heart Reuse & Recycling System, Hanwa’s nationwide network designed to reduce environmental impacts.
We are contributing to the realization of a recycling-based society through reduction, reuse and recycling of waste.

For waste plastics, the Ecology & Recycling Business Dept. is establishing an efficient recycling system with minimal environmental impacts.

System solutions through collaboration
The Ecology & Recycling Business Dept. is the driving force of Hanwa’s recycling business. Our objective is to establish environmental system solutions that transcend the limitations of individual companies, through collaboration in establishing waste collection channels, evaluating optimal recycling methods with customers, and joint development of new products using recycled items.
