Reasons for the birth of Food Ecology Center
It's rare for a company to recycle food.
Why did you make Food Ecology Center?
The beginnig of this company, Odakyu Electric Railway was created for the purpose of CSR.
◎「CSR」：Corporate social responsibility（＝CorporateSocialResponsibility）
Company is built in society and is a member of siciety.
So in order for a company to continue and deblop, society must also develop.
Therefore,each company starts environmental protection to protect nature necessary for making products. And they play volunteer to gain the trust of local people.
Odakyu Electric Railway also operated many supermatkets.
So the company saw a lot of food waste from supermarkets as a problem, along with the solution, we contribute to the solution of the entire food loss that continues to occur in other situations, and they tried to fulfill CSR.
Instead of just thinking about "for the company",it was a company made for "society"！
By the way, the Ecology Center is working on solving various problems besides measures against food loss.
Garbage disposal problems
●Carbon dioxide reduction
Now, about half of what is burned in incinerators is food waste.
Burning in incinerators produces a lot of carbon dioxide,it is the cause of global warming.
There is no burn process to make a liquid feed for the Food Ecology Center！
Not a landfill,a lot of carbon dioxide can be reduced. by recycling at the Food Ecology Center.
●Reduced use of fossil fuels
Treating garbage without burning, it leads to fossil fuel reduction.
Reduction in use is desired.It because fossil fuels are a limited resource and purchasing is expensive.
●Tax reduction by incineration
Burning one ton of garbage costs about 40,000 to 50,000 yen.
However,Many of them have been paid from our tax.
◎By the way...
National municipal waste disposal costs are about2 trillion yen.
40 to 50 percent of this burned garbage is food.So 800 billion to 1 trillion yentaxes are used annually to burn food.
●Livestock management problem solving
Many problems can be solved by taking measures for food loss. From that You can see how food loss is causing social loss....
We can say that....
We aim to solve several issues simultaneously.
It's great！
However why did you decide to recycle it as “pig feed”？
It because what pigs eat is almost the same as what humans eat!
Is that so！
What arrives at the Food Ecology Center can be eaten by human nature。It was pigs that could easily recycle them.
