Modern society is changing at a dizzying pace, far beyond our expectations. The market is becoming more diversified, faster, and more globalized, and what society demands from companies is also changing with the times. At EBC Corporation, we have been engaged in three businesses: non-ferrous metals, plastic recycling, and factory material reuse sales, aiming to sustainably grow even in a rapidly changing business environment and meet the diverse needs of our customers. In the non-ferrous metals business, we fully support our customers’ overseas material procurement. In the resin recycling and factory material reuse businesses, we contribute to achieving the SDGs by reducing CO2 emissions and lowering environmental impact.
The name “EBC” comes from:
- E: Eastern
- B: Bridge
- C: Cooperation, Connection, Consulting
With Japan located to the east of Asia, we named our company with the heartfelt wish to be a bridge connecting Japan with overseas, especially Asian countries. EBC aims to understand the needs and desires of manufacturers and customers, build true connections, and create win-win relationships.
We sincerely ask for your continued support.

Thoughts Behind the Activities
Since coming to Japan, I have been supported by countless people. While my efforts may be small, I engage in activities with the serious thought of “what can I do now?” The March 11, 2011 Great East Japan Earthquake particularly reinforced this stance. Many companies and individuals were involved in various arrangements and support activities. As a member of society, I did my best to assist customers in need throughout the night. Although my position is different from those who were affected or those working on the disaster sites, I continuously thought, “My social contribution is to face my customers head-on,” day in and day out. This event in Japan made me deeply think about what I can do now, leading to my current activities.
