Creating a comfortable dietary life through food tray containers

In the 1980s, the problem of waste handling by municipalities around Japan developed into a serious social issue.
FP Corporation was among the first companies to address the problem with the launch of the FPCO method recycling in 1990.
Today, used container collection boxes placed at supermarkets have become a common sight that we take for granted.
These green boxes linking consumers with FP Corporation are the start of a large tray-to-tray cycle.
Even so, the current used food tray collection rate has stalled at around 30%, necessitating further expansion of the movement.
In contrast to subterranean resources such as crude oil, FP Corporation refers to used containers as “terrestrial resources.”
With everyone’s help, FP Corporation will continue with significant steps to foster the process of recycling activities enabling the continued use of terrestrial resources.

The FPCO Method recycling is characterized by the fact that used trays and PET bottles are collected and recycled into materials from which food trays and containers are produced. This recycling system is called Tray to Tray™ and Bottle to Tray™. FPCO was the first company in the world to introduce circular recycling, which produces food trays and containers from used trays.
