Resource Recycling Systems
Kawasaki has long considered waste to be a valuable resource, and has been developing and
introducing an array of systems that enable a wide range of municipal and industrial waste to
be recovered, recycled and put to new use.
Such innovations include refuse paper and plastic fuel (RPF) production facilities that convert wastepaper/plastics into an easy-to-handle solid fuel, equipment that converts old tires into highway paving materials and tiles, and machinery that sorts glass bottles by size and color. Another Kawasaki advance is a system that pulverizes and screens waste wood, turning it into pulp and fireboard material, or through carbonization converts it into charcoal and soil supplements. EarthTechnica Co., Ltd., a joint venture of Kawasaki and Kobe Steel, Ltd., is currently responsible for the manufacturing and sale of these systems.
Kawasaki has also developed refuse-derived fuel (RDF) plants which dry, crush and solidify combustible waste, and technologies to recycle polyethylene terephthalate (PET) bottles into PET resin, sludge into carbonized sludge and activated carbon, and many others.
