Reduce, Reuse and Reconvert-to-energy - the age of Re* business 2001.11.20

In order to realize a sustainable society for future generations, we need to abandon the idea of conventional scrap and build, and re-build the idea of rebuilding. Scrap and build, which has resulted in the waste of resources and energy, and the proliferation of environmental burdens, has been avoiding the burden on the future generations about resources and the environmental impact.

From this background, rebuilding efforts are creating a variety of business opportunities. Instead of discarding the ever-increasing stock and waste in society, rebuilding the importance of handling goods and resources is forming an important market for environmental business. The business areas included in the rebuild include Refine (fractionation, decomposition), Reduce (weight reduction), Reuse (Reuse), Recycle (recycling), Reconvert-to-energy (heat recovery), and others. What is being promising in that is the reduce field. The recycle of fashion is a thin business success. There are many reasons, but it is difficult to recover from the initial investment to the facility. There are high hurdles for ensuring high quality waste (resources), re-resource costs, recycling resources and product sales channels.

For example, Rocoh Company Ltd. has launched the Ricoh Eco Business Development Center which is aimed for the new businesses on environmental sustainability.

In addition, the environmental load increases by recycling. In that regard, the recycle business is less difficult to reuse as a product by adding repairs and repairs before recycling the used products. Reuse business includes repair, Reform, and retrofit of used products, as well as renovation and restoration of the long-life of the building structure, or restoration of the deteriorated natural environment. When we look at the rebuilding business in the reuse, many of the success stories are accounted for by the business.

There are many cases of success that changed the business category to the service of repair from the hard corporation and the manufacturer of the leather bag which played the store public in November of last year. It is said that it is the age of re-business from now on not only the reuse business. Any business hanging under the re-build is re. There might be unexpectedly a hint of business when the part of "Re" of dictionary is pulled.
