In addition, we will strengthen the collection of waste to expand melting and recycling. In Southeast Asia, we will expand the processing of hazardous waste in Thailand. In Indonesia and Thailand, we will also establish and expand waste treatment facilities to expand our business.
The soil remediation business will expand orders due to a remediation method that handles naturally contaminated soil, and will promote the establishment and expansion of landfill sites in Japan.
