Eco-town Facility

Features

Challenge to zero-emissions

A request from Kagawa Prefecture for Mitsubishi Materials to use the site of Naoshima smelter and Refinery to establish their incinerator to dispose 500,000 tons of industrial waste illegally dumped on the island of Teshima, provided an opportunity to cultivate a new environmental industry in the town of Naoshima. We worked with Kagawa Prefecture to formulate the Naoshima Eco-Town scheme, which was authorized by the national government in March 2002.
In this Eco-Town scheme, Mitsubishi Materials operates a circular resource recovery business, consisting of an intermediate processing facility for Teshima and other waste; a molten fly ash recycling facility to pretreat the molten fly ash generated by municipalities both on and off the island; and a valuable metal recycling facility constructed for the pretreating (incineration melting) shredder residue before sending to the copper smelting facility. The result is zero-emissions recycling scheme that makes effective use as resources such as molten fly ash, shredder residue, and other substances, which were previously sent to landfills.
