Bari Clean (Imabari City Clean Center), which we are contracted to operate, held the “Imabari Environment Festival 2024” in October 2024. The purpose of the event was to raise awareness of environmental conservation and 3R promotion by exhibiting booths in various areas of the facility (flea market, kitchen cars, etc.) and by conducting tours of the facility. We conducted awareness activities to promote the separate collection of lithium-ion batteries, which have recently been a cause of fires at waste treatment facilities. We also held a “Garapon” lottery for those who brought their used lithium-ion batteries to the event, which was enjoyed by many citizens.

In June 2025, the “Minami Echizen-cho Flowering Lotus Early Morning Marathon” was held in the vicinity of the Eco-Clean Center Nanetsu, which we are contracted to operate. Staff from Takuma Technos Nanetsu office participated as part of the community, enjoying the scenery of lotus flowers in full bloom in the fresh early summer air. The “Pocket Park (park)” that is part of the facility is a popular place for local residents, including farmers in the area, for relaxation. We will continue to place importance on interaction with the local communities and work to operate our facilities in a safe and secure manner.

Eco Park Anan, which is contracted to operate the facility, holds the Summer Vacation ECO Event every August. In FY2023, in addition to plant tours, work experience tours, and parent-child hands-on learning classes such as coaster making, the event also included a fair featuring a candy store and super bowl scoop, making it an event for parents and children to learn and enjoy. There was also a flea market for recycled and handmade goods, as well as a food truck area, with the event attended by many local residents.

The Niizawa Clean Campaign is held around May every year in the Niizawa area around Clean Center Kashihara. FY2023 marked the ninth time that we participated in a cleanup activity, cleaning up and mowing grass around local facilities (elementary school and community center). Kashihara High Trust Co., Ltd. will focus on activities that contribute to the local community to serve as an indispensable presence in the community by playing a central role in local cleanup activities and events, as well as offering safe and stable facility management as a supporter in the local community.

Machida City Bio-energy Center, which Takuma has been contracted to operate, held three events during FY2022, in April, July, and November, with the goal of raising awareness about the 3Rs (reduce, reuse, and recycle). The events, which were attended by more than 500 residents, had a little something for everyone, including a facility tour with a stamp rally, recycling-related craft workshops, experiential learning for waste collection, and a fishing game about waste sorting using felled bamboo.

Bari Clean Park Hokutan, which Takuma has been contracted to operate, hosts a variety of events that let attendees experience nature throughout the year using a satoyama environment that was built as a place where people could encounter nature around the plant while learning about the rich natural world and the importance of life. In October 2022, numerous families participated in a “Potato-digging and Mushroom-foraging Festival,” which began with the harvesting of sweet potatoes that had been planted in spring and continued with a talk about mushrooms by an expert, after which attendees hiked up a nearby mountain and continued their study.

We participated in “SDGs Fair in ODA 2021”, which was hosted in November 2021 by the City of Amagasaki’s Oda Region Sectionto deepen understanding of the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Staff at our booth joined visitors in playing a waste-sorting board game that we created with the local non-profit organization Amagasaki Environmental Open College. The game featured quiz questions about waste-sorting rules in Amagasaki. Players earned coins when they answered questions correctly and exchanged them for environmental points, the total of which determined the winner. The booth attracted numerous attendees, particularly families, who had fun while learning about waste sorting in Amagasaki through the quiz.

We joined Imabari High Trust Co., Ltd., which Imabari City has contracted to operate Imabari City Waste Management Center (informally known as “Bari-Clean”), in hosting the Imabari Environmental Festival 2020 in October 2020. More than 1,400 local residents came to the festival, which implemented a series of measures to prevent COVID-19 infections, including taking attendees’ temperatures and ensuring everyone wore masks. Attendees enjoyed attractions including a flea market, events designed to raise awareness of environmental issues, and a dining area with numerous food stalls.

Suita City, to which we delivered a municipal solid waste treatment facility, holds the Suita Environmental Education Festa, a participatory event conceived to foster environmental conservation and creation, each year in order to deepen cooperation among stakeholders including residents, businesses, schools, and government agencies. In FY2020, the festival was held online due to the COVID-19 pandemic. We created and exhibited a video introducing the Suita City Resource Recovery Energy Center, which Takuma delivered.
