The Nishinomiya branch of the Global Warming Prevention Promotion Agency, a non-profit organization (NPO) in Hyogo Prefecture, Japan, is committed to engaging local residents in activities that prevent global warming.

In 2024, FIGP invited members of this NPO and local residents on a tour of the Himeji Plant to illustrate how rPET could reduce the demand for virgin plastic and lower the carbon emissions derived from raw materials. FIGP explained that washing waste PET bottles and removing labels prior to recycling would help waste treatment suppliers improve the recycling efficiency. In addition, recycling PET bottles would lessen the load on landfills or incinerators, and further reduce GHG emissions.

The tour and dialogues have helped raise the local awareness of environmental protection and enhanced stakeholder engagement.
