The Company, which annually processes around 80 million kg of waste paper, processed 80,683,104 kg of waste paper in 2022. In addition to generating economic benefits, paper recycling provides various benefits such as reducing environmental waste, saving energy, and helping the world from the threat of global warming.

Therefore, ALDO continues to focus on developing the business of recycling used brown paper, and continues to innovate to develop new products made from recycled paper," said ALDO's President Director, H.
