based on the concept of zero emissions.

a key project of Japan’s Ministry of Economy,Trade andIndustry, and it originated through a system of subsidiesthat was first established by the Ministry of Economy,Tradeand Industry and the Ministry of Environment.

The Japanese government established the eco-towns tocounter the then-pervasive problem of waste managementand to stimulate domestic growth in a sustainable mannerthat would not prove harmful to the environment.

Basic aims of zero waste

The reduction of waste produced, includinggreenhouse gases, to nearly zero;

The promotion of energy-saving measures; andclose collaboration between different industriesand administrative districts.

The facets of zero emissions that areincorporated into the eco-town conceptinclude environmental management, resourcerecycling and urban planning, all of which can becarried out thanks to synergies between theaforementioned collaborative parties.

Focus of Existing Ecotown

Environmentally friendly technologies and methods such asintegrated waste management, the 3R methods (Reduce,Reuse and Recycle), industrial ecology, green consumerismand energy conservation; location in and/or close linkageswith a large and growing eco-business market that is welldeveloped domestically and extends internationally;

A strong focus on research and development that extendsto both public and private sectors, and which is focused oncrafting cutting-edge solutions for environmental problems;and the abiding interest of both local and nationalgovernmental bodies to craft policy in support of theseinitiatives
