Power in Utilizing Waste

Power in Human Resources

Our talented, problem solving oriented staff is prepared to meet customer needs by taking into consideration the trends and changes of the era.

Power in Logistics

Distribution costs account for 50% or more of waste and recycling expenses. In order to realize a substantial reduction, we have taken various initiatives such as the introduction of a dispatch system that utilizes AI and a GPS tracking system, implemented an e-learning driver training program, and have helped realize a joint collection network for collaborating companies.

AI Enabled Dispatch System

"Our vehicle dispatch system is optimized for waste collection based on systems used in arterial logistics operations such as major distribution and parcel delivery services.
The dispatch system automatically calculates the optimal route based on customer information such as location and waste amount. Our experienced sanitation professionals further refine the route by inputting neighborhood and worksite details. Through the introduction of this dispatch system we are able to achieve efficient, economical collection routing."

Secure Tracking System

Tracking system for confidential media transport. We utilize GPS satellites and monitor transport. Barcodes are used to ensure security in every step of the disposal process from collection to transport to final treatment. Upon completion of treatment, we provide you with a certificate to confirm transit and processing steps.

Paperless Manifests

We are transferring support from paper to electronic manifests for all business operators to help reduce costs associated with manifest management.

Collection Collaboration Project

There are tens of thousands of sanitation vehicles employed by an estimated 14,000-plus sanitation companies in Tokyo. We are working together with some of these companies through our commercial waste collection services to help reduce the number of vehicles, operation time, logistics costs and CO2 emissions.
