Although the volume of waste requiring treatment is declining steadily as a result of ongoing efforts to transform a social system once based on mass production, mass consumption, and mass disposal, into a sustainable recycle-based society, there is no doubt that our high-performance waste treatment plants will continue to play an essential role as key infrastructure required to maintain a safe and comfortable living environment. Moreover, as a component of efforts to realize a low-carbon society and from the standpoint of underutilized energy, Energy from Waste (EfW) continues to enjoy active promotion, and amidst the urgent need for a new energy policy, expectations run high for the use of EfW as electricity supply infrastructure.
Energy recovery from renewable resources such as biomass or underutilized fuels such as waste plastic have caught public attention as a social concern from the view point of constructing a society less dependent on nuclear energy or fossil fuels, and thus we believe that the demand for our incineration technology and heat recovery technology will still increase further.
Within such a business environment and from a mid to long term point of view, we are currently striving to build structures capable of consistently earning an ordinary profit of JPY 10 billion even as the business environment undergoes a process of significant change in keeping with our corporate vision of “aiming to maintain our role of being an indispensable presence in society as a leading company in the field of renewable energy utilization and environmental protection” and our target of achieving ordinary profit of JPY 10 billion in FY 2020.
