Main factors of eco business market growth②

A variety of tailwinds to create an environmental business. In the environmental business development, as described above, there is a wealth and variety of related technologies and products in the Takamine market, it can be said that the tailwind state. On the other hand, related information such as the key price has come to be widely published compared with the time of B to G (public works), and the condition has become good for the enterprise which aims at entering.
　In addition, it has been linked with the greening of the global economic market. The national environmental policy has continued to push toward green. The 21st century may come into the era of environmental treaties. Because, it is not a problem which can solve one problem of PM2.5 very much only by one country. The deteriorating global environment is not a problem that can be solved very much if, for example, a neighboring country has entered into a treaty and has not dealt with it to solve the problem.

　To cope with the deterioration of the global environment at the international level, the world-renowned environmental technologies cultivated over the Japan 50 years are a powerful weapon, and business opportunities are lurking. The legal regulations are not to be overlooked. This, for example, if it is recycled legislation relates to food waste, measures against food waste that has been incinerated so far is required. The recycling device is necessary for that, and the bud that the environmental business grows there comes out. When the legal regulations concerning one environment are applied, the environment business is surely raised there. In addition, when the environmental business is to start up, the restriction accompanying this is existing oppositely. For example, if you want to renew your building when you enter the environment business, the hurdles are unexpectedly high because of the electric business Law and construction law. Then, the deregulation of the environment business which makes it easier to enter by lowering the hurdle will accelerate.

What is food traceability

Producer information is not provided to consumers in the normal major distribution.

In other words, I think that the safety and security of food are ensured in the relationship between the tall size that can be trusted by the person who makes me and eats me.

* Traceability [traceability] is to clarify the process of cultivation, breeding, processing, manufacturing, and distribution to ensure food safety.

In order to ensure their traceability, the relationship between producers and consumers in the field of food is being made visible.

Speaking about antibiotics disease prevention, for example fish, aquaculture such as pigs. Fish farming in like fish tank is an antibiotic pickle for disease prevention. Naturally, a deformity fish comes out. I hear that the deformity is turned to the revolving sushi cut chunks. In the case of pig farming, the administration of antibiotics is inevitable. The swine farming, which is shipped in March and May, is also used for antibiotics, and many are still in pneumonia.

Some mind feed makers do not use antibiotics to promote human health, and some are promoting lactic acid feed.
However, there is a fight of the production cost, and it seems to be difficult to spread. When we consider food problems, including foods loss, we cannot improve food producers-consumer (virtual water accompanying import and export).

The six laws concerning circulation in Japan 2002.10

Since the establishment of the environmental Basic Law, which is said to be the constitution of the Environment in 1993, the laws of the environment-related laws and regulations have been steadily advancing, and the following circulating six laws are legislated in the conventional diet. The Basic Law for promoting the formation of a recycling-oriented society (enacted in June 2006) the revised Waste Disposal Act (Ministry of Health and Welfare in April 2001) promotion of effective use of resources (environmental agency, METI, Ministry of Health and Welfare) construction Materials Recycling Law (Ministry of Construction in November 2000) Promoting the recycling of food resources (Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries in April 2001) Green Purchasing Act (Enforcement of the environmental Agency in April 2001) the ordinance of the municipality is newly institutionalized, and it is revised. All of these trends are related to the business opportunities of environmental business, or the development of environmental management systems. Therefore, it is important for each business operator to understand the necessary regulations and to constantly check their movements.

The amount of food waste in Japan 2018.11

The amount of food waste coming from home is excessive! The self-sufficiency rate in this country is about 40% on a calorie basis, which is not an accurate figure. It is probably the lowest in developed countries. Wouldn't years have been discarded as a food waste of 19 million ton, and 60% of the 11 million ton have been discharged from the home. The problem is that 200 to 4 million ton of the packaging have been discarded as unopened and uncooked. The fact is that most of them use electricity in the refrigerator and are abandoned without seeing the light of light as food. Many of the food that is thrown away is a cheap food which is done well in the supermarket which is the food imported from foreign countries with low price. Cheap It is the food that jumps and buys it saying. This is a small domestic product, imported goods that do not think it is only cheap and generally delicious. It saves it to the person in the refrigerator because it does not want to eat immediately. Most are out of date, and remain unopened to waste. The world's experts said, "Japan have money but no food." It is postponed to the next generation here.

Green Plastic as an eco-material in Europe

Gradually the penetration of European consumer goods manufacturers is taking a big helm in the use of plant-derived plastics and recycled plastics. In the Japan, there is excessive coverage of the efforts of the de-oil-based plus chick about the drinking straw and the container etc. which are mass consumption and a large amount of waste in the food service industry. It seems that the clue is finally opened, but in Europe overseas, the material changes in consumer goods, The efforts of the oil-based plastics have already begun to move in earnest. <!--more--> For example Denmark major toy manufacturers have introduced plant-derived polyester products, which are made from sugarcane for the first time in the company. We are currently selling Lego block plants from plants in the form of grass and trees for a limited time, but the policy is to expand it to all products. In addition, the sneaker manufacturer Adidas is not using the new material from plants, but rather crisis it with recycled materials from polyester materials. We sold 100 pairs sneakers with recycled polyester for 17 years. It is a full-scale switching policy in 24 years. By the way, about 40% of clothing is used for recycled goods. "The cost is one to two percent higher, but the priority is to reduce the environmental impact" is practiced in the products sold. The tendency to choose products and invest in the consumer, the manufacturer, and the investor based on the consideration of the environment is spread before. It is said that it will be possible to reuse and to recover all plastic by 30 years.

Eco-Shop on the increase②

A wide range of items. It is not limited to the farm products of organic cultivation now, and the processed food which does not use the additive which harms the health has come to circulate widely besides the raw material and the method. In addition to daily necessities, a wide range of eco-products are produced, including toothbrushes using natural materials, clothing made from organic cotton materials, clothes using recycled resources such as PET bottles, stationery using recycled materials, and interior products that do not contain harmful chemical substances. These eco-products are in addition to the eco-shop, recently in department stores and supermarkets. With the growing interest in health and safety since the great East Japan earthquake, sales of such eco-products are also growing, and we are expected to grow in both manufacturing and distribution. In the department stores and supermarkets, we have partnered with manufacturers to actively develop our own environmental brand products. Along with the penetration of these eco-products, small eco-shops tend to specialize in products in specific fields and deal with more distinctive products. We are also dealing with eco-products as one of the differentiation strategies in the communication sales that are directly connected to the consumer. In addition, the distribution of Ortertrade, which specializes in products made in developing countries, was also created, and the eco-commodity market began to attract attention as a new market.

Eco-Shop on the increase①

Eco-shops dealing with environmental products (ECO goods) have been increasing in stores that deal with environmentally friendly products. Especially after the great East Japan earthquake four years ago, new trends are being formed in addition to the importance of life, safety and security of food, and other themes.

It is a so-called "eco-shop" targeted at Green consumer (green consumer). The number of stores in the Eco shop spreads. In order to realize a prosperous and sustainable society of the future generations of the country and the developing countries, the rise of the Gree consumer, which is the basis of product selection, such as environmental preservation, importance of life, food safety and security, etc., when purchasing goods More and more manufacturers and retailers are making products that are considerate of them. The Pioneer was the Co-op and the retailer who treated the food safety as an added value to the farm products of organic cultivation. On the other hand, there was a form of distribution specializing in environmentally conscious products (eco-products) of daily necessities from among the civic group which valued products with low environmental impact from the viewpoint of environmental conservation. We call this eco-shop a specialty eco-store that deals with many eco-friendly products.

Food Bank for Environmental pollution 1998.10.15

Amid growing interest in the effects of the human body, such as environmental hormones, the Ministry of Health and Welfare will embark on a "food bank" that stores food samples for a long period of time in the event of a situation in which there is a concern. It is used to investigate the intake of environmental pollutants taken into the body from food that dates back to the past. The whole country is divided into seven blocks, and various menus are kept frozen by 30 kg per year in each region.

Plant Factory Business is limited ①

On the other day, I looked into "agri business Japan" which was held at Tokyo International Exhibition Center. Approximately 160 offices in Japan and overseas are exhibited. The exhibits of agricultural workers were surprisingly small, and many of them were exhibited in home appliances, materials, plant manufacturers and facility horticulture. Most of the plants produced there are leafy vegetables such as lettuce, tomatoes and strawberries. Cultivation technology is seen as a trace of constantly evolving, but the biggest challenge is still profitability of the producer side.

It is very limited to be established as a business. The present day of the plant factory, only the leaf things such as lettuce were attached to the eye in the planner piled up in layers here and there in the hall.　 Is it possible to do business of plant factories that produce food ingredients outside of these natural and ecological systems? What is a plant factory in the first place? The type of plant factory, there are two types of fully artificial light type using LED light source without sunlight (including led combination) and the solar light type broadly divided. The solar type is basically used for solar light in a semi-closed environment of greenhouse type. It is possible to plan production throughout the year by the supplementary light at the time of rain and cloudy, the high temperature suppression in the summer, etc., in addition to the leaves such as lettuce and spinach, fruit vegetables centered on tomatoes, strawberries, etc. are also suitable for cultivation features. In addition, the cultivation area is easy to be cultivated in the plane (one side), it is possible to adjust the proper yield amount. On the other hand, the fully artificial light type which does not use the solar light is a production method of planning production in a closed environment. The production of lettuce, spinach, etc. are mainly made of leafy products (fruits and vegetables are very limited). It is possible to secure the cultivation area by multi-stage cultivation, a lot of harvest is expected, it is close to the large consumption area (low distribution cost) is characterized by high installation suitability around the urban area.

Food waste, thinned wood and branch materials as biomass energy 2001.05.20

Biomass energy has been attracting attention as a new energy source as a waste treatment. Biomass is the idea of an organic organism as an energy resource, in addition to plant resources, such as human waste urine, garbage from plants and animals, etc. are also included. The use of biomass energy, which is currently considered, is based on incineration heat utilization, gasification by pyrolysis, methane fermentation, and alcohol fermentation. As for the use technology, the use of heat by direct incineration and the methane fermentation of organic wastes has been put into practical use, but in the food factory, the case of adopting methane fermentation technology is increasing in response to the food waste recycling law.

Approximately 2.7 billion yen has been organized for the development and dissemination of biomass energy in the environment-related budget of the country in fiscal 2001. On the other hand, the Ministry of Health, Labour and welfare has processed human waste and raw garbage, and launched the "Sludge Regeneration treatment center Concept" to recycle methane gas and compost, and issued a subsidy only for the recycling type of new human waste treatment facilities from fiscal 1998. Therefore, the municipality is looking for a mechanism that can recycle from both sides of the garbage disposal and human waste processing.

In addition, the "Renewable Energy Promotion Law" under consideration for legislation is also touted to promote the dissemination of solar and wind power and biomass energy. 19 million tons of food waste per year, and waste material discarded from construction sites is 17 million tons annually. Only biomass resources that are currently being treated as waste rise to this amount. In addition, the forest area of the current Japan is about 25 million hectares. The forest resources that grow over the years are about 100 million cubic meters Sweden. According to assets such as ministry, the Japan has been left in mountainous areas for about 6 million cubic meters of thinned wood and branch materials. We consider these to be energy resources, and if we plan to proceed deforestation and reforestation, we can diversify energy sources and preserve forests. It also leads to the promotion of forestry, which is declining steadily.

Eco-friendly hotels are on the increase 1

I hear that more and more tourists and young people in Japan choose environmentally friendly accommodations. The Eco-hotel, which is based on a different ecological service than the traditional service, is established as a new hotel service. In the past, it was an opportunity to acquire ISO14001 certification for each hotel and to improve the environment of business activities.
　I followed the current situation of the Eco Hotel. "Eco Hotel", which complies with the environmental management of the eco-hotel prior to the current trend, was the environmental improvement of our business activities. You can change to the pump type of the appropriate dosage from disposable shampooing shampoo, you can switch to eco building materials to eliminate the authentic linoleum, in addition to use the organic materials such as yukata and bedding, and Ene the Ministry for indoor Lighting, 　The main efforts were to reduce and recycle food residue discharged at the facility. The reason behind this is that the incentive as a business to Seru customers in addition to improving business activities is strengthened. One of the ways to choose hotels among tourists from Europe, where environmentally friendly hotels are becoming the mainstream, is to not miss the "choose an eco hotel at the same price". With the surge of foreign tourists in the hotel industry, hotel prices and traditional services are just the time to reconsider. A new customer base has emerged for the tourists who are attracted to these eco-hotels. Young people seeking a lifestyle that considers the environment and health (safety and security).

About global warming related business ①

<Global warming prevention and low-carbon related business >

Global warming has been attracting attention as global climate change is manifesting. In the field of environmental business, global warming-related businesses are listed in affair. It has been proposed to reduce the emissions of greenhouse gases (CO2, etc.), which is a major factor of global warming, and to expand renewable energy and increase energy-saving measures. They do not go out of the region of the coping therapy conception if it says.　If the global warming issue does not come to the table, is not the creation of those related businesses? Think about global warming and low carbon related business in Japan.

The global warming-related business is so forth to prevent global warming and low-carbon related business, including renewable energies, energy saving, power saving, electricity storage, new species improvement due to changes in distribution of food production areas, or forest regeneration and conservation. However, it is wise not to think that the basis of these business in Japan is necessarily caused by the warming. It seems that the conception from the resource and the energy securing is not unreasonable as the resource small country and the Japan rather than it. Securing resources and energy is the most important issue for Japan, which is a small country that relies largely on foreign resources. In the 21st century, many of the existing resources have been facing a decline in the amount of reserves, and the price rises due to a shortage of global resources and energy. It is said that the 21st century is the age of resource contention, and from the standpoint of sustainability of Japan economy and society, the main theme is "Securing resources and energy" of pure domestic. In the Environment Business field closely linked to the trend of Japan economy, "resource and Energy securing" is located in the middle, and it is a business opportunity not to be missed.

To feed more than fertilizer②

Promotion of feed-in by Loop recycling the company has been increasing its efforts to establish a loop recycling program that promotes recycling by selling pork that has been nurtured by the feed that has been recycled by itself. A relatively large example is the Japan Food Ecology Center in Sagamihara, Kanagawa. Food waste produced in food factories, department stores, supermarkets, and lunch centers along the Odakyu line are made into fodder, and the pig meat fed by the feed is sold in a wide variety of industries, including supermarkets, department stores, and hotels. This attempt has been carried out at a major supermarket in Chiba, Kita Kanto and Tama area, and has been successful. Also, under the Ibaraki prefecture, we are developing a dual-wielding method to sell rice and vegetables through the recycling of "fertilizer" loops.

Both of them received a lot of repeaters and heard that the business was strong. Food waste that comes out of the diet home of Japan forgot the waste is said to be 10 million tons close, 11 trillion yen in terms of food costs. This is almost the same amount as the production of Japan agricultural and fishery industries. In addition, the processing cost (incineration) is used for 2,000 trillion yen. There is also a reality of 2 million tons of expired food that can be discarded by using electricity in a home refrigerator. The brakes on the mass disposal of mass consumption are not effective.

To feed more than fertilizer ①

Food waste situation of Japan about the development of the environmental business market in China for eight days, we conducted a company visit from each region, but what I felt most in this time was that the leftovers (food loss) in the dinner surrounding the round table has decreased considerably. The reason is that eating habits which order the proper amount of food which wants to eat to reduce the foods loss are expanding if it hears it. Aside from that, the amount of food waste in our country remains the top class in the world.

How has the vast amount of food waste been processed in Japan now? It is said that food waste of 20 million to 2,500 million tons per year is discharged to the Japan not less than 40% food self-sufficiency rate from fertilizer to feed. This is one year's worth of food that will cover 80 million people in the world. By the way, nearly 20 million people died in the year due to hunger. About 70% of the children starve to death. More than half a million tons of food waste discharged in the Japan are from the food industry. The basic stance of this country is how to reduce the number of things that came out of this crime rather than the efforts to produce a huge waste of food. It's a guy called coping therapy. I followed the coping therapy. Speaking of recycling of food waste, there were many cases to be fertilizer, such as poor profitability as a business to ensure the quality of the fertilizer, recently increased livestock feed than fertilizer. Because the Japan relies on imports of about 90% or more of the feed, it is better to feed the fodder when considering the stable supply of feed, while soaring grain prices, the main ingredient in feed, will rebound into feed prices. The Government and Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry have also recommended "eco-feed (feed of food residue)". In terms of re-resource technology, it is difficult to feed the food waste as a raw material is easily deteriorated and stable supply, and the influence on the meat quality in the nutritional balance side was a drawback, and it has been almost improved now. In addition to the "drying method" (liquid fertilizer) "silage adjustment (raw material is sealed, lactic acid fermentation to prevent the propagation of bacteria)" has been developed, among them, the demand for hog feed is rapidly increasing.

Biomas energy 2000.08.15

Biomass energy used in methods such as direct combustion, methane fermentation and gasification by pyrolysis has been reviewed as a promising source of energy. By 2010, the European Union has doubled its share of renewable energy (including geothermal and large-scale hydropower) from 6% to 12% in total energy, up 8. It plans to make biomass for 5% (10 million kw in heat output). Sweden and Finland that have been working relatively early have already covered about 20% of the primary energy supply and 12% Austria. The use of biomass in the European Union is mainly due to the local heat supply through combustion. In Sweden, many municipalities have heat supply facilities that burn wood and other trees that cannot be used for timber, and heat is being sent to public facilities and houses through piping that is built underground in urban areas. <!--more-->
In areas that do not draw piping, woody fuel processed small pellets are used for the fuel of stoves and small boilers. Because plant resources are used to fix CO2 by photosynthesis, the total amount of CO2 in the atmosphere can be kept constant if the tree is planted even if it burns it. In food factories and paper mills that generate a large amount of organic wastes, it is possible to recycle in the factory and reduce the cost of energy, let alone the processing cost. Especially for food waste recycling law in April 2001, more and more examples of adopting methane fermentation technology are being used in food factories.

3 times PCB detection of dioxins in seafood 1999.11.15

In FY 1998, the Ministry of Health and Welfare investigated dioxins in 36 different types of seafood, meat, vegetables, etc. It was found that the average concentration of copplaner PCBs contained in seafood is about three times higher than dioxins. It is seen that the PCB used in the country in the 1960s was swept into the sea and had been accumulated. In Japanese pampas grass, dioxins were detected at a concentration of 20 to 85 times more than other fish, and 90% of them were copplaner PCBs.

Japan's material balance 2001.07.20

According to "Japan's material balance" summarized by the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, and environment, approximately 90% of the total material input in this country is natural resources (imports of crude oil, food, etc., about 700 million tons, and the domestic collection of 1.1 billion tons). About 40% of the energy consumption, about 400 million tons of food consumption, about 1 billion tons of industrial waste, and about 300 million tons, and general waste. 100 million tons). It is said that the entire 10% (about 200 million tons) are recycled and reused.

Green Plastic as an eco-material in Europe

Gradually the penetration of European consumer goods manufacturers is taking a big helm in the use of plant-derived plastics and recycled plastics. In the Japan, there is excessive coverage of the efforts of the de-oil-based plus chick about the drinking straw and the container etc. which are mass consumption and a large amount of waste in the food service industry.

The return of Minamata disease - Marine pollution of plastic waste becomes serious 1

The return of Minamata disease - Marine pollution of plastic waste becomes serious The waste of plastic has expanded into marine pollution and emerged as a new global environmental problem. The European Union has launched a ban on the use of disposable plastic products by 2030. The main seven countries (G7) Summit also read the discussion. Every year, about eight million ton of plastic waste produced in each country are eroding the sea, and the adverse effects on organisms and ecosystems are aggravated by microscopic particles decomposed by wave power and ultraviolet rays (mili less than 5 micro-plastics).

In Europe, the elimination of oil-based plastics is in full swing

In Europe, green plastic as an eco-material gradually penetrate European consumer goods manufacturers are taking a large rudder to the use of plastic and recycled plastic derived from plants. In the Japan, there is excessive coverage of the efforts of the de-oil-based plus chick about the drinking straw and the container etc. which are mass consumption and a large amount of waste in the food service industry.
