[PIVOT Feature] Why Government and Major Retailers Are Serious About “Waste DX”

The next wall companies face after decarbonization is the waste problem. In this episode, RECOTECH sat down with Tamagawa Takashimaya S.C. and the City of Yokohama — both users of pool, RECOTECH's next-generation waste-weighing management system — for a deep, no-holds-barred conversation on what that really means.

Why does "waste" matter on the ground in business right now?

Until now, waste disposal has largely been treated as a "field operation," managed the analog way with paper and spreadsheets. But today, it's eating into SG&A costs and has become a management issue that can't be ignored from an ESG investment standpoint either.

⚫︎ The future of resource circulation, as envisioned by government
How the City of Yokohama is using data visibility across 1,200 sites to streamline collection and transport, and shift toward advanced recycling.
