Environment
To meet the needs of a recycling-based society, we operate two environment-related businesses.
One is the environmental systems business, which helps protect the Earth’s limited water resources via such means as promoting the use of recycled wastewater, recovering valuable material from wastewater, and producing high-purity water. The other is a business to promote the treatment of ash by melting and solidifying it in an electric incinerator. Specifically, this business is based on collecting furnace ash from municipal incineration facilities, melting it for detoxification, and recycling the resultant ash as our own product, Ecolarock (air-cooled eco-friendly slug).

Electric Power
Horomangawa Hydroelectric Power Plants in the Hidaka region of Hokkaido have received facility accreditation under the Japanese government’s Feed-In Tariff (FIT) scheme for renewable energy sources. The Horomangawa River system is located within the areas of Mt. Apoi Geopark in Samani Town, which has been designated as a UNESCO Global Geopark, and boasts a rich natural environment.
We will endeavor to secure steady revenues while contributing to society by remaining environmentally conscious and engaging in clean, renewable energy power generation projects.
