| JFE has been delivering
stoker incinerators, fluidized-bed incinerators,
recycling plazas and other waste treatment
facilities to local municipalities for
the past 30 years. It is one of the
uncontested top manufacturers of waste
incinerators in Japan, with approximately
100 facilities delivered and cumulative
treatment capacity in excess of 20,000
tons per day. More than 10% of the municipal
waste generated in Japan is processed
by JFE-built waste disposal facilities. |

The emergence of dioxin problems and
the lack of final disposal sites are bringing significant changes
to the waste treatment field. Wide-area treatment is making
progress as a means of counteracting dioxin problems. Smaller,
intermittently fired incinerators are in decline and being replaced
with larger, fully-continuous facilities. More communities are
turning to gasifying and melting furnaces as the next generation
of solutions. Meanwhile, Japan’s Container and Packaging
Recycling Law has spurred major steps forward in materials recycling,
and more and more communities are considering private finance
initiatives (PFIs) to fund projects.

| JFE continues to respond to these
changes in a timely manner, developing a wide range of programs
and products that better serve our customers. We lead the research
in gasifying and melting furnaces and in refuse-derived fuel
(RDF), and have successfully developed advanced systems for
both. We are now in the process of building our first RDF plant
for the Kahada Oku-Ise Wide Area Federation in Mie Prefecture.
We were also awarded the contract to supply a gasifying and
direct melting furnace in Kakamigahara, Gifu Prefecture in May
2000. |
|
| JFE’s waste separation and
recycling systems combine a number of technologies to fully
automate the separation/sorting process, an area that traditionally
has been dependent on human hands. The system has received high
praise from local municipalities as well as the market. JFE
responded to the new Container and Packaging Recycling Law by
building waste plastics separation and pretreatment plants at
its East and West Japan Works. These plants work in conjunction
with the company’s versatile program to recycle waste
plastics for feed into blast furnaces. JFE looks forward to
being your partner in creating innovative solutions to environmental
issues. |
