This circulation supports someone’s social life and leads to joy of somebody.
This practice brings us joy as well, and that force drives us toward the future.
Our mission lies in continuing to fulfill our responsibilities and in consistently pursuing
the resource recycling business, which has been our core business since our founding.
As a group of leading companies in resource recycling, the ENVIPRO Group is a needed presence.
We are convinced that our continued growth will lead to the achievement of a sustainable society.
Together with all our stakeholders, we will continue to make a circle of joy.
That is the hope of the ENVIPRO Group, and our promise to the future.
