JPA & JRPA have a very active roles in promoting the recycling system in Japan
Active association memberships as advisor roles in promoting recycling program in
each of the designated areas.
A strong / active action / Implementation Group such as Paper Recycling Promotion
Center by JRPA
Noted that Japan have a very details classification of recycle waste for the residential,
business and industrial communities / channel (Implemented since 1974)
Effective Recycling Message to the Public / Residences with A Good Government
Support & Local Municipals
Japan Local municipals providing the facilities to the communities to ensure the
success of the recycling system.
Good & Pro-active cooperation between paper mills and recycling industries in
sharing information and relationship business trust.
A very matured legal system of Paper Recycling system established since 1974 or
during the Pre-Edo
We need an on-going process to promote recycling program in all levels
Paper mills in Japan have created a very strong quality control of waste at
wholesalers level and then to the collectors (reduce the incoming check of waste at
paper mill)
What can we work/promote from now?
1. Exploring more public awareness of recycling of waste in all channels which can
provide immediate impact towards the recovery of waste collection and quality
incoming of the waste ( Example : schools, industrials, commercial, and residence
areas)
2. Recently, some of the waste paper have been exported out from Malaysia which was
reported by local customs. This definitely are some of the potential issue facing
which reduce the rate of local collection recovery rate. (Working with local customs
authorities to reduce the exporting of waste due to local shortage)
3. Paper mills in Malaysia, receiving most of the left-over / poor quality of in-coming
waste from the wholesaler ( mainly OCC segment). We need get more guidelines or
process details to overcome the in-coming from the wholesalers.
4. Malaysia’s waste paper specification need to be revise to Japan classification which
can have a significant improvement on the quality of the waste papers collected. (Preprint brochures, leaflets, sharing information to household, PTA…etc)
5. Looking at under-recovered areas / states in Malaysia which having a significant
growth due to the developments by the state government ( East Malaysia : Sabah &
Sarawak)
Possible cooperation/support from Japan?
1. To share more new ideas or technical knowledge in improving manufacturing yield
within 2-3 years from now ( All paper production makers ). Targeting to reach 90 to
94% yield.
2. Malaysia at this moment still imports a significant volume of waste paper from
Europe, USA and Australia. Therefore, with the excess of waste papers currently
available which we hope Japan can provide some incentives to support us while we
are still developing the strategy to recover more waste from the local market.
3. Japan have a well establishment of paper recycling system since 1974 till today
which we hope we can be get more details pertaining the set-up which we can use to
be implement / as a guidelines within the associations , members, communities and
with our government bodies.
4. Existing methodology or quality checks implemented in Japan which can be use to
assist to reduce our moisture issues and prohibited materials from the wholesalers.
5. Setting up WTE (Waste To Energy) plant for all paper mills by providing special grant
to set-up the facilities
6. Possible to assist us or to provide a TIMELINE details how to set up A very establish
paper recycling system ( Example : What we must do 1st before we move to 2nd Step)
