Promoting resource recycling
Promoting resource recycling for a sustainable future
What comes to mind when you hear about waste becoming a resource?
Many people think of recycling plastic bottles.
In fact, the electricity and heat generated by burning waste and the ash produced after burning waste are effectively used. The heat generated by burning waste is used to generate electricity and hot water, which in turn is used to heat hot bath and hot pool facilities. By melting and solidifying the ash, it can be used as pavement materials for roads and stone materials used for sea and river revetment work. This has led to a reduction of stone resources quarried from the mountains. Precious metals contained in ash can also be recovered and reused.
The Environmental Solutions Company is engaged in a power retail business that supplies electricity produced at its facilities to local communities and an ash recycling business at its subsidiary, Chubu Recycle Co., Ltd. We provide systems like this that enable the recycling of resources for the local utilization of waste and energy to help build a sustainable society.
