The Future of Environmental Business - Challenges of Environmental Companies and Green Companies - February 1998
As environmental companies and green companies are attracting more and more attention, environmental business efforts through cross-industrial cooperation are accelerating. In Komae City, Tokyo, a group of small and medium-sized companies have come together to jointly develop a carbonizer that converts construction waste into charcoal. Construction companies, machinery manufacturers, metal fabricators, and trading companies are working together to build a process from development to sales. This device is attracting attention as a technology that reduces environmental impact while generating reusable resources.
In addition, the Recovered Paper Recycling Promotion Center Foundation is developing activities to stabilize the supply and demand of recovered paper and to promote its collection. Along with the expansion of the recycling market, the center is also promoting the development of new applications and focusing on the development of products other than recycled paper. Through its Green Mark program, the center educates schools and community groups about the importance of recycling and contributes to the realization of a recycling-oriented society.
Furthermore, companies from different industries are collaborating to create new environmental ventures. In Yamaguchi Prefecture, banks, universities, and local companies have jointly established a cross-industrial exchange organization to promote the development of purification technology, biotechnology, and steam machinery. The goal is to develop environmental technology as well as to strengthen local industry.
These efforts are an important step for environmental companies to contribute to building a sustainable society. It is expected that innovation in environmental technology and cooperation among different industries will support the future growth of green businesses.
