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. Industry, government and academia, including the national government, local authorities, universities and business and industry associations, work together to study the measures needed to realise the Circular Economy.

With this participation, Nifco will further strengthen its activities to build a recycling-oriented society and strive for both reduced environmental impact and sustainable growth.
