The NTT Group selected the collection of PET bottle plastic caps for the Ecocap Movement, an activity that group companies had carried out independently since 2008, as a groupwide policy and intensified collection efforts from fiscal 2011.

By recycling PET bottle caps, the Ecocap Movement reduces CO2 emissions from waste incineration, and uses part of the income generated by recycling the caps to provide vaccinations for children in developing countries.

In fiscal 2012, the NTT Group exceeded its target for the year of 30 million caps, collecting a total of 31.94 million caps that represents emissions reductions of 252 t-CO2 and vaccinations for 39,926 children.
