We visited Ariake Kogyo, an industrial waste management company. We try our best to clean and re-use our rented furniture, but items damaged or stained beyond repair are brought to this site.
Mr. Takahashi, a passionate young gentleman took us to the room overlooking Tokyo Gate Bridge and Central Breakwater. Here industrial wastes are separated to burnable items and metals.
Walking around the big yard, we saw a huge building actually wastes are brought in. Due to the Covid-19, many workers are working from home, and unnecessary office space were closed. Desks and chairs are brought here frequently.
Next building we saw was a burnable yard. Paper, clothes, plastics are shredded into small pieces, pressured and stored as fuels. We felt sad seeing brand new pants wrapped and tagged.
The room to pound mixed wastes, too dangerous for people to go in, is monitored by cameras and screens. When something goes wrong, everything stopped and staff actually go in there to check.
Please see a video actual wastes are brought into the yard. Although paper, fabrics and plastics are re-use as thermal energy, Thanks to Mr. Takahashi, we learned where our disposed furniture goes. However, I also thought we need to try our best to recycle them without burning.
