Transfer substrate recycling apparatus and transfer substrate recycling method

A transfer substrate recycling apparatus comprising:

• a first pass line in which an elongated belt-shaped transfer substrate wound in a roll shape is unwound and conveyed;
• a second pass line in which an elongated belt-shaped adhesive material wound in a roll shape is unwound and conveyed;
• a controlling portion configured to control the conveyance of the transfer substrate;
• a first removal portion provided in the first pass line, the first removal portion being configured to remove an impurity on the transfer substrate by transferring the impurity onto the adhesive material such that the adhesive material is brought into contact with the transfer substrate;
• an inspection portion provided on a downstream side from the first removal portion in the first pass line, the inspection portion being configured to inspect a surface of the transfer substrate;
• and
• a second removal portion provided in the first pass line, the second removal portion being configured to remove a residual impurity detected by the inspection portion.
