Building a Recycling-Oriented Society
Basic Concept
Basic Concept
Given the world's growing population and the growing rate of resource consumption, it is estimated that the equivalent of two earths will be needed by 2030. In order to make more effective use of limited resources, companies need not only to recover and recycle waste, but also to reduce the volume of resources wasted. This means that drastic workflow innovations are required, such as using on-demand production and IoT technology, to reduce resource waste in the supply chain. In addition, there is a need to promote the transition to a circular economy by developing material technologies that facilitate recycling and by building better networks for recovering used resources.
Konica Minolta added its newly established long-term vision for "Using Limited Resources Effectively" in May 2023 to Eco Vision 2050 and will accelerate its initiatives.
