| Industrial Waste Is a Treasure Trove |

 PROFILE OF THE PRESIDENT Hiromi Yamamoto In 1963, at age 19, he established West Japan Crushed Sand later to be renamed as the current SANDO Co., Ltd. In May 1993, he applied for a patent on technology used in scraping off sharp corners from ocean sand. Since then, he has been engaged in research on recycling and processing industrial waste. He holds a number of patents on products made from recycled industrial waste, including aggregate for use in concrete, and heat insulating materials. He also has several other patents pending. |
I entered the stone-quarrying industry and began manufacturing
concrete about 40 years ago. In those days, the entire country was
in the midst of a period of dynamic economic growth. The emphasis
was on manufacturing, and the careless and wasteful use of wood, concrete
and other construction materials was rampant. Now, as many of the
buildings constructed in those days are nearing the end of their usable
lives, we unavoidably find ourselves confronted with a tremendous
amount of industrial waste and the heavy burden it is placing on the
environment. I must admit that I am one of those responsible for the damage to the environment. I was long engaged in cutting through mountains to quarry for stone and saw the destructive impact this had on the environment. Even so, it was easy to see there was a limit to the quantity of natural resources available. Looming large as a very real possibility was actually running out of natural resources and not being prepared to begin recycling. Then I began looking for ways to recycle industrial waste because I knew that what there was of it represented a potential treasure trove. The development of our new recycling technology has also convinced us at E&P Company, Limited that recycling should be Òcomplete recycling.Ó It must be recycling in which nothing recycled produces a new kind of industrial waste. Effectively used, industrial waste becomes transformed into a value-added resource for the manufacture of new products with durability and lower prices. With so much treasure in the environment, the time for complete recycling has come. E&P Company, Limited urges the community to take advantage of the recycling process we have developed. |
