What is metal and waste recycling?
This is the core business that the Envipro Group has been engaged in for many years.
We collect resources generated from factories, etc., such as automobiles, multifunction devices, vending machines and small home appliances, shred and sort them into separate materials, and deliver them to steel makers, refiners and other customers.
Social issues
With recent calls for carbon neutrality and securing critical minerals, environmental issues, especially metal and waste recycling, are attracting increasing attention.
The recycling process is also considered part of a supply chain, an area where research and development is progressing along with the expansion of market size.

Service overview
We respond to the needs of our customers and quickly collect waste materials when necessary.
Collected waste is thoroughly sorted by material and then connected to the appropriate recycling route.
The Group's recycling plants are powered by 100% renewable electricity, which allows us to achieve low-carbon resource circulation by decarbonizing the recycling process.
The recycled resources produced are delivered to steelmakers, smelters, and other customers.
