Takuma Awarded DBO Project for Waste Treatment Facility (Ichinoseki Regional Administrative Association)

　A corporate group led by Takuma Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Amagasaki, Hyogo; President: Kuniaki Hamada) was awarded a DBO project* for a waste treatment facility (the "Project") from the Ichinoseki Regional Administrative Association, composed of Ichinoseki City and Hiraizumi Town in Iwate Prefecture, on March 24 of this year. In this Project, an energy recovery-type municipal solid waste treatment facility (incineration facility) and a material-recirculation promotion facility will be newly constructed and operated for 20 years from August 2030. The new waste treatment facility, as a resource and energy circulation hub in harmony with the surrounding rich natural environment, will aim to reduce greenhouse gases and ensure long-term stable operation by thoroughly implementing measures to prevent fires caused by lithium-ion batteries and other sources.

　Currently, the Ichinoseki Regional Administrative Association incinerates combustible waste at the "Ichinoseki Clean Center" and the "Daito Clean Center." As both facilities have been in operation for over 25 years and are aging, the decision was made to construct a new waste treatment facility, and the corporate group led by our company has now been awarded the contract for its design, construction, and 20-year operation.

　In this Project, we will reduce greenhouse gas emissions associated with the facility's operation by increasing power generation through the introduction of a high-efficiency waste-to-energy system and suppressing power consumption by actively introducing energy-saving equipment. In the recycling facility, we will select and recover valuable materials from incoming waste and implement thorough measures to prevent fires caused by lithium-ion batteries, thereby achieving safe and stable operation.

　Furthermore, by devising the building's layout and color scheme, we have created a design that harmonizes with the rich surrounding nature. We also aim for facility operation that considers regional environmental conservation by thoroughly implementing pollution control measures and reducing the amount of final disposal.

　In the waste treatment plant business, our company possesses extensive environmental technologies, including advanced combustion and heat recovery technologies, in addition to a rich track record of approximately 380 facility contracts—the most in Japan—and numerous operational achievements. By making the most of these in this Project, we will design and construct a waste treatment facility with a low environmental impact and promote facility operation with excellent safety and stability, thereby contributing to the formation of a circular society.

*A method where public entities procure funds and entrust the design, construction, and operation of a facility to a private business operator in a single package (Design, Build, Operate).
