Urban Miners - March 2002
Re-Tem Corporation, headquartered in Ota-ku, Tokyo, attracted attention in Japan in the early 2000s as a progressive company that combined industrial waste disposal with metal recycling. The company was particularly focused on recovering precious and rare metals contained in IT equipment and precision machinery, and could be said to be a pioneer in the utilization of urban mines. As a model case of a green company, many municipalities and companies visited the mine one after another. It is an example of the transformation of waste treatment from mere post-processing to the creation of environmental value.
