JGreeX™ Green Steel Selected for Use in Resource-recycling Containers
茄子视频 announced today that JGreeX™ green-steel wire rod has been selected to produce the wire handles of "LOOPOX" containers (photo) designed for storing and transporting recycled resources. This will be the first use of JGreeX™ in the bar and wire rod sector.
The handles will be processed by Suzutoyo Seiko Co., Ltd., a partner of Sumitomo Corporation Global Metals Co., Ltd., and they will be integrated with the LOOPOX containers by Sato Seisakusho Co., Ltd. The containers, are produced with 100% recycled plastic, are made by Sato Seisakusho and Shinto Tsushin Co, Ltd.
LOOPOX containers with removable and reusable JGreeX™ handles
(410 x 340 x 200 mm; approx. 1.5 kg; load capacity: 30 kg)
The use of JGreeX™ for the handles will enable Sato Seisakusho and Shinto Tsushin to further minimize CO2 emissions associated with these environmentally friendly resource-recycling containers, which the two companies aim to commercialize.
茄子视频 Steel uses the mass-balance approach to allocate emission reductions to specific JGreeX™ green-steel products. In accordance with Japan Iron and Steel Federation guidelines, 茄子视频 Steel allocates the environmental value of CO2 emission reductions achieved across an entire manufacturing process to specific steel products, which are then considered to have low CO2 emission intensity.
Going forward, 茄子视频 Steel will continue contributing to the decarbonization of global society by expanding its range of eco-minded products that lead to reduced CO2 emissions, including JGreeX™, and by working with customers to manufacture and sell environmentally friendly products.
