By eliminating waste, promoting the reuse of waste, and recycling waste, we will strive to ensure resource recycling across the supply chain.
At the Air Water Group, when looking at industrial waste by category, we release a large amount of dust, soot, and sludge from the treatment of wastewater in our biomass power generation business under the Energy Solutions segment, and a large amount of animal- and plant-based residue from the Agriculture & Foods segment.


The food waste generated through agriculture and the production of food products at the Air Water Group’s plants is recycled according to Japan’s Food Recycling Law. Our food recycling rate exceeds the 95 percent target set by the government, and thus we are making steady contributions to a recycling-oriented society.
Air Water Logistics Co., Ltd. has launched a full-scale eco-feed business, flaking pumpkin processing residues, which are often handled by the Group’s food factories, and supplying them mainly to livestock farmers as cattle feed. Food waste generated within the Group is effectively used as natural plant-derived feed additives.
Going forward, we will work to develop feed made from residues other than pumpkin seeds and pulp to help reduce waste.
