KIMURA Co., Ltd. is a company specializing in plastic recycling. The company has a history of 60 years and has recycling plants in Hokkaido, Chiba, Hyogo, Kyushu, Yamaguchi and other places. The main recycled materials are PET bottle bricks, waste paper, film, foam, etc.

Before 2020, Japan's waste plastics only need to undergo simple compression and packaging and other pre-treatments before being packed and transported to China or Southeast Asian countries for further processing such as cleaning and granulation. However, with the restrictions of the Basel Convention in Japan, only clean and single categories are allowed to be exported, so more and more local recyclers have begun to do deep processing of waste materials, that is, cleaning-crushing-granulation. KIMURA Co., Ltd. is one of them.

KIMURA Co., Ltd. started cooperating with INTCO Recycling on EPS blocks around 2000, and is expected to supply 100-150 tons of EPS blocks to our company every month. The two parties have formed a long-term, stable and friendly cooperative relationship. Starting in 2020, the films recycled by KIMURA Co., Ltd. began to be made into pellets, part of which is sold in Japan and part is sold to INTCO Recycling. It can be said that the two companies have achieved win-win cooperation in multiple areas of raw materials.

As the business continues to expand, KIMURA Co., Ltd. has been increasing its recycling plants in Japan. At the beginning of 2015, the company expressed its intention to build a plastic film pelletizing system in its new plant in Kyushu. As we all know, INTCO Recycling has always insisted on providing customers with comprehensive solutions. 

We not only recycle waste plastic foam, but GREENMAX, as a machinery brand under INTCO Recycling, also provides recycling equipment. When GREENMAX heard that our supplier had this demand, it quickly contacted the president of KIMURA Co., Ltd. and provided a solution using a plastic film pelletizing system.

After two months of discussion and investigation, the partners felt that the solution provided by GREENMAX was very cost-effective. More importantly, our company is the end user of recycled pellets and can achieve a closed loop of resources, so it is more trustworthy. So the two parties reached a cooperation agreement. At present, the GREENMAX plastic film pelletizing system has arrived at the customer's factory and is being installed and debugged. I believe that GREENMAX will definitely help KIMURA Co., Ltd. produce more and better quality plastic pellets.
