    Solid Waste Management in Japan

    Uploaded by

    RAHUL
    Solid waste management in Japan focuses on waste reduction due to limited land. Incineration is common for volume reduction. Waste is collected using efficient trucks that reduce emissions. At transfer stations, waste is compacted for transport. Incinerators must maintain high temperatures to fully disinfect infectious waste. Ash from incineration is used for energy production. Japan also recycles materials like PET and cans to make new products. Appliance recycling recovers hazardous materials. Biomass waste is converted to energy through methane capture or biodiesel. Semi-aerobic landfills stabilize sites quickly for reuse.

    Solid waste

    management in japan
    BY LUN KIMMEY
    Waste Treatment Transition in
    Japan(1990-2008)

    Incineration is most common


    in Japan due to the limited
    habitable land and
    pressure of waste volume
    reduction
    Flow of waste and resources in Tokyo
    23 cities in japan
    Waste collection

    The transfer station


    method commonly adopted
    in Japan is the compactor
    container transfer station is
    shown here
    Fuel-efficient collection and transport
    vehicles with high load volume

    Generally, garbage loading and unloading is


    powered by the engine. This type of truck generates
    electricity required for loading and unloading
    while the truck is running. This reduces the
    consumption of light oil and CO2emissions.

    There are two types of this garbage collection trucks -


    mechanical trucks (Mobile Packers) and
    compressor-type trucks, but mobile packers are more
    commonly used

    Due to the worldwide problem of global warming, low-


    pollution-type garbage trucks, such as electric
    motor-drive and hybrid trucks are being developed and
    put into practical use
    Waste to energy model
    Waste to energy plant
    Dioxin emissions from incinerators
    Treatment of contagious waste in
    Japan

    Burning in incinerator Contagious waste must be broken


    down and
    fully disinfected so that contagious
    Melting in melting facility pathogens cannot spread
    through the air. In measures 1 or 2,
    gas temperature in the
    Sterilizing with high pressure steam incinerator must be maintained at
    800C or higher.
    Sterilizing with dry heat sterilizer

    Disinfecting
    Efficient waste power generation
    Waste heat utilization system
    Recycling to make diverse products

    Under the 3R policy (Reduce, Reuse,


    Recycle), Japan has been collecting
    Polyethylene terephthalate PET
    bottles, food trays, and cans
    separately for reuse as recycle resources
    in the manufacturing of new products.
    Home appliance recycling
    technology in Japan

    Home appliance recycling technologies in Japan


    focus on the effective utilization of resources and
    the safe treatment of hazardous material, and
    methods and operations becoming more and
    more sophisticated.

    Refrigerators and air conditioners contain


    chlorofluorocarbons that damage the earth's
    ozone layer. These hazardous liquid
    chlorofluorocarbon and chlorofluorocarbon in
    insulating material are recovered for proper
    disposal.
    Recovering electricity and fuel from
    biomass waste

    Waste with high moisture


    content will generate
    methane gas and hydrogen
    sulphide when buried without
    treatment, causing
    environmental pollution.

    Incineration of high moisture


    waste requires sub-material to
    assist with the incineration.
    Cooking oil waste with low
    moisture content may be
    effectively recycled as
    Biodiesel.
    Semi-Aerobic Landfill disposal
    technology

    the semi-aerobic landfill technology


    quickly stabilizes landfill sites after
    the land has completed its role as
    landfill, enabling it to be used for
    parks and open space for sports.

    The semi-aerobic landfill structure is


    technology that quickly transforms
    open burning sites into sanitary
    ground that emit no smoke. This is a
    low cost, low-tech method, which is
    being introduced and spreading to
    other Asian countries
