Assessment of feasibility studies in FY2013
Considerations of project implementation through “Waste toEnergy Technology”¾ Contribute to the waste separation at source¾ Promoting 3Rs to make the best use of independent andinventive ideas in each community¾ Further promoting the diversion of wastes from landfill byintroduction of “Waste to Energy technology”¾ Stabilization the amount of waste collected concerning“Waste to Energy” and use of energy creation¾ Improvement of waste management system projects
including a Low Carbon Society¾ Ensure the understanding and cooperation of stakeholders(Business enterprises, institute and citizens, etc)
