Nifco is pleased to announce that it has joined two important initiatives aimed at realising the Circular Economy.
1) Participation in Circular Partners
Nifco participates in Circular Partners, an industry-government-academia partnership set up by the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry.
Circular Partners is a consultative body newly established by the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry as one of the concrete actions based on the 'Growth-oriented Resource-autonomous Economy Strategy' formulated in March 2023.
