Overview

Conventional mass production and mass consumption have resulted in a society that generates large amounts of waste, creating challenges for environmental conservation and the establishment of a sound material-cycle society. Building a sustainable society requires the promotion of the 3Rs (Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle) together with appropriate waste management.

We support government agencies by conducting surveys and providing consulting services related to waste reduction, improving recycling rates, and the design and operation of recycling systems.

Main Services
● Surveys supporting the design, implementation, evaluation, and revision of recycling systems (small household appliances, home appliances, automobiles, food waste, and packaging materials)
● Surveys and consulting on waste reduction, recycling rate improvement, and food loss reduction
● Studies, evaluation, and assessment of waste testing and analytical methods
● Surveys and consulting on appropriate waste management practices

Features

● We have extensive consulting experience in recycling processes and recycling systems, enabling us to efficiently conduct surveys supporting the design, implementation, evaluation, and revision of recycling-related policies for products such as small household appliances, home appliances, automobiles, food waste, and packaging materials.

● Leveraging many years of experience in waste-related investigations and analysis, together with our extensive network of experts, we support the development of survey and analytical methodologies for understanding current conditions and solving issues related to the 3Rs and waste management.

● We have conducted numerous projects for national government ministries, including the Ministry of the Environment, related to resource circulation, waste management, environmental analysis, and soil. We also provide consulting services on waste reduction for prefectural and municipal governments, giving us extensive experience working with local governments throughout Japan.
