wastes at Usuki city general oﬃce in October 2nd 2012.

REMATEC Co., sets business guidelines which are based on 5 keywords Reliability , Information
disclosure , Problem solving , Risk management and Integration . We have been trying to be acompany that participates in establishment of a recycling-based society and also correspond to
our customers. We have issued our annual CSR report since 2000 as a communication tool tostakeholders and this is our 13th publication.
Based on the principle, REMATEC s primary operation is environmental business including
recycling resources and also solution for the social issues in environmental ﬁeld like recycling andglobal warming countermeasures.
On April 1st 2010, Kinki Kankyou Kosan changed the name to REMATEC and set To create
the innovation corresponds to the social issues of environment as a new REMATEC s mission andInnovation for the Earth as the company slogan.
Since CSR activities should be sustainable through our operation, we are responsible as amember of the society for achieving the largest mission to create the innovation. We set

This technology is also able to be used forother organism wastes so that we can use
it to renew energy from processed residues
produced at food processing companies.
Moreover, the treatment technology
corresponds to extract functionality materials.
REMATEC has established the world s ﬁrst
sub critical water plant for businesses andhas implemented reclaiming solvents andacid as our operation. We have been trying
to build a system that extracts functionality
materials from organism wastes by the sub

Business Overview

100,000 tons per year

Since 2011, REMATEC has focused on
developing a pre-treatment of sub criticalwater which collaborate with physical-chemicaland bio-chemical reactions and practicalapplication of methane fermentation process.
The sub critical water treatment is a technology
of decomposition and solubilization material
by high temperature and pressure water.
That would be like Boiling things in the hugepressure cooker . The sub critical water treatment
for waste water and sludge that not easy to
decompose by microbes can decrease
residues and increase gas which is likeOnce you boil some ﬁsh in the pressure
cooker, you will be able to eat it even its bones.
At the results of experiments of the sub
critical water treatment for waste water andsludge, we found that the gas was increased
and the residues were decreased. We are

Rebuilding Operation
The Great East Japan Earthquake produced approximately 4,350,000 tons of waste in
Iwate prefecture. The waste was produced mainly by Tsunami and contained a lot of sea salt.

We separate the disaster wastes to combustibles and incombustibles at Ofunato plant of
Taiheiyo Cement Corporation to remove its chlorine content in desalination facilities.

Desalination was assumed as the key of rapid waste treatment so we started a basic study

With cooperation from Siam Cement
Group (SCG), we are conducting thedemonstration operation to alternate
industrial waste to raw material for
cement ﬁring fuel in Thailand. Our main
goal is to make ZERO waste in Thai landby consulting and supporting the locals
with our RF technology and procedures suchas test operation, quality/speciﬁcation
inspection, and veriﬁcation of the feasibility.

All wastes should be alternated into
1) Reclaiming Fuel, 2) Biomass recycling,3) RDF and these procedures lead us to
the establishment of 3R system. We areconducting the analysis on the waste
types and the governmental measure forboth residential/industrial wastes withcooperation from related authorities inThailand.

Safety activities at Sakai SC plant

SafetyIt has been 3 years since our three plants have been granted for the occupational safety and healthmanagement and all three plants have accepted the grant for the renewal in Aug, 2012 after the inspection.
At our Kyushu plant, the report of accidents for the last 5 years prior to the grant was: 2
accident leave: 1 accident: incident: 4.And for the three years after the grant, there was only 1
incident reported. This result indicates that our eﬀorts for the hazardous material removal,
self-checking duties and the education are being successful.

The holing of Labor safety and health conference
The 15th occupational safety and health conference for all oﬃces was held in our Kyushu plant.
We have had these conferences with the participation of our Osaka plant, Sakai SC plant, and Kyushu
plant before, however, we had new addition of our branches of Tohoku, Tokyo, RTT, Technical headquarter,and sales headquarter therefore we had 36 participating employees and executives to this event.
The remarkable report from our Tokyo branch was referred to the tasks and responsibilities on therecovery of Great East Japan Earthquake and Tsunami disaster areas in Tohoku including all thesafety and health measure and eﬀorts to protect our employees at our work sites.
REMATEC s President, Masatoshi Tanaka referred in his speech, and There is no such thing as
safety guarantees. And that became our project theme on our contribution to victims from theGreat East Japan Earthquake and Tsunami, and the accidents at Fukushima nuclear power plant.
And we all veriﬁed the importance of safety and tasks to support it.
