Newcomers to the environmental business market have been rapidly entering the market in recent years. The number of business establishments is now roughly over 3,000, and the probability of success is much higher than in the past. There are several keys to success.

The key words are "regional, decentralized, and low tech.

Environmental efforts are finally becoming regional. Whether it is maintenance and preservation of the natural environment or resource recycling, the best approach is to work on a regional basis. In such cases, the role of local medium- and small-sized enterprises will be significant. Various businesses can be derived from them. For example, taking waste plastic treatment as an example, the technical fields of recycling include material recycling (recycling into materials) and thermal recycling, such as oilification reduction and RDF (solid fuel conversion). This field is the domain of large companies, and the keywords are similar to wide-area and biotech. It is a field that is difficult for medium- and small-sized companies to enter. However, there are many clues for businesses related to waste plastic processing in small and midsize companies. Waste plastics are discharged at local factories and offices. The shredding and volume reduction of waste plastics, which is the pre
liminary stage of recycling, is exactly where local medium- and small-sized companies come in. In this way, the business stance of large companies is different from that of small and medium-sized companies, even when it comes to the processing of waste plastics.

Keys to Success

There are other keys to success. The key to success lies in the fact that the environmental business is conceived as an extension of the current business model. Examples include a ceramics company that collects local waste and converts it into bricks, and a furniture manufacturer that uses wood waste and cardboard from its offices to manufacture recycled furniture. In addition, a travel bag manufacturer has designed a recyclable travel bag that has been a long seller. In other words, they have succeeded not by turning recycling into a business, but by turning their business into recycling.

Expanding Environmental Businesses from Local Regions

The environmental business from the local region is steadily expanding because of these business avenues.
