"Ensuring Sustainability for Future Generations."

Initiatives have been initiated in a variety of fields, and since the promulgation of the Basic Environmental Law in 1993, the country's environmental, waste, and recycling-related legislation has been steadily progressing. From a high-level perspective, the following three initiatives can be seen.

The first is "resource recycling," which aims for effective use of limited resources and proper reuse of waste. The second is the development of new renewable, decentralized energy sources to replace conventional energy sources and energy conservation efforts. The third is the maintenance and preservation of existing natural ecosystems and the restoration and restoration of degraded nature and ecosystems.

A variety of new businesses are being created in these various efforts to improve the environmental burden.

As we approach the 21st century, the environment is becoming more and more important.

A book that can help you think of new business ideas is currently making headlines in the United States. The book is Natural Capitalism by Hunter Robbins, a well-known author of energy soft-business theory. The book focuses on the cycles of the natural world, or ecosystem. For example, spiders eat crickets and flies and convert them into silk; abalone takes in seawater and converts it into shells that are twice as strong as ceramic; and trees convert light, air, water, and soil into cellulose. He calls these plants and animals "skilled manufacturers" that produce no waste.

He further argues that these ecologically compliant and gentle chemical processes are an attractive alternative to the brutal and inefficient production processes of existing industries. In other words, they are not only about waste reduction, but also about the endless possibilities of ideas and business opportunities to secure resources, energy, and ecosystems.

He also cites many other examples, such as the use of orange peels as an alternative to CFCs, as well as ideas for changing business models. It seems that environmental businesses can find hints in the activities of the natural world.
