The basic and important point about the waste generated by companies is that, through recycling, it can be turned into new resources and energy. In other words, in controlling their daily discharge of waste produced, companies look at how they can turn effectively usable waste products into valuable recyclables.

It is our company’s business to realize such resource recycling by creating waste management systems. This solution involves using a management system to connect upstream waste generators with downstream processing businesses, and is possible because of our company’s know-how.

Every business asks itself what types of waste products are coming from where, and what kinds of valuable recyclables can be produced though proper processing. We make topnotch resource recycling possible by conducting detailed data management and analysis for each individual company that we serve, and effectively matching generators of waste with processors of waste.

―How does your company specifically relate to the realization of resource recycling?

The amount of waste disposed by generators of waste, and how waste products are finally recycled, is reported to the government and municipalities entirely by way of information tracking. The recycling process and system is strictly regulated by law. In order to follow the regulations, our company operates management systems for companies to facilitate the proper recycling of waste products.

In other words, hazardous substances are properly processed in line with regulations, and valuable materials are circulated, all in accordance with Japan’s resource recycling rules and systems. Our job is to carry out this process smoothly and, making effective use of data, match up businesses in order to improve recycling rates. As a resource recycler, we are the only company capable of doing this.

In addition to providing data analysis and work systems for businesses, we are working at promoting IT throughout the entire industrial waste industry. This currently forms the second stage of our business. Specifically, we are involved in creating an electronic contract system conforming to regulations shared throughout the industry. We are in the midst of creating systems such as recycling management systems designed for each type of waste product. The third stage of our business involves promoting IT throughout the whole of society. I would like for our company to also contribute to improving society’s overall infrastructure by creating a system for the temporary storage of decontamination waste from Fukushima, a system for the management of biomass fuels and Freon gas, and more.

We are a company that is in charge of management systems that integrate upstream waste businesses with downstream businesses. Therefore, we our broadening our prospective to include new environmental infrastructure improvements in the industry and for the whole of society. In this way, we want to expand our business pursuits in order to continue enabling resource recycling for the whole of society.

―What do you think about your company’s business potential?

In the past, the industrial waste industry had a very different image, but now we can expect future growth in promising companies that can greatly contribute to society. There is probably no other industry in which a company, consisting of around 100 people, could acquire top share with their core system as we have done.

This is the latest industry in Japan to grow and change as it has, and what makes it so very attractive for us, being right in the thick of the industry, is the potential for business development. Even from a global standpoint, our market is steadily expanding, with Asia next in our sights. Since the industrial waste processing technology of companies in Japan is of extremely high quality, there will be a need for waste management and control systems in the future.
