The Engineering Department provides one-stop services in the field of waste management, offering comprehensive support ranging from assisting national policy formulation and developing management plans for local governments (soft components) to designing and supervising the construction of waste treatment facilities (hard components). We also conduct project monitoring after facilities begin operation, contributing to the effective implementation of sustainable waste management systems.

Our specific services include:
- Formulation of master plans for waste management, as well as basic concepts and plans (including operation and maintenance plans) for the development of intermediate treatment and final disposal facilities.
- Environmental impact assessments, including surveys on living environment impacts and ordinance-based assessments.
- Support for project procurement, facility design, construction supervision, and project monitoring.
- Formulation of dismantling plans for the demolition of existing facilities following new developments.
- Collaboration with prefectures and municipalities to support the regional expansion and integration of municipal solid waste treatment facilities.
In the area of decarbonization, we explore the application of CCUS (Carbon Capture, Utilization, and Storage) for municipal solid waste, conduct surveys and promote the use of waste-based biomass and wood biomass boilers, and support the formulation of plans related to regional energy systems and circular economy zones.
We are also initiating support for the development of resource circulation systems for items such as disposable diapers and plastics, based on the concept of a circular economy and integrating both forward and reverse logistics. Our involvement further extends from technical due diligence for waste management M&A conducted by investment funds to ongoing project monitoring services.
Additionally, we support the recovery of areas affected by increasingly frequent natural disasters through on-site assistance with disaster waste management and damage assessments for septic systems.
