For example, on products that require water resistance, instead of using adhesive film for display labels, we offer adhesive paper for labels that employs paper as a surface material that does not tear easily when wet. As an alternative to plastic shopping bags, we are developing printing paper with excellent water-resistance proper-ties that can be processed into paper bags with handles. Furthermore, we are working to expand sales of thick water- and oil-resistant paper that can be used as an alternative material to plastic containers for boxed lunches sold at convenience stores. In applications that require features provided by film, such as water-resistance and transparency, we are examining the potential of paper as an alternative to plastic. uses recycled PET resin from used PET bottles as facestock. While using 100% recycled PET resin in the facestock, we are developing labelstock that has the same properties as those made from non-recycled PET film base materials. We are also trying to Strengthening Collaboration among Companies to Solve Plastic IssuesIn April 2019, the LINTEC Group joined CLOMA,* a group that aims to solve the problem of plastic waste floating in the ocean. We examine measures to promote the use of materials other than plastic, and disseminate and share technological information. Moreover, in November 2020, LINTEC announced capital participa-tion in R Plus Japan, Ltd., a joint investment firm that is advancing the development of recycling technologies for used plastic. This company is working with a biochemical venture firm in the U.S. to research new technologies for directly returning PET bottles and other plastics to their raw material state. We aim to commercialize this technology by 2027 as a way of efficiently recycling a higher volume of used plastic.LINTEC’s Initiatives to Reduce PlasticThe LINTEC Group is focusing on reducing plastic as a part of its efforts to realize a recy-cling-oriented world in its long-term vision. Here, we introduce our products and efforts to reduce waste plastic and discuss the amount of plastic used.Focus
