Story
In order to realize a sustainable society, it is necessary for companies to improve their resource efficiency. Sekisui House has been working on zero emissions for over 15 years. We separate 27 types of waste at the construction site and 80 types at the Resource Recycling Center, and also measure the weight of waste using 2D barcodes for each type. In 2004, we became the first company in the industry to receive approval for a wide-area certification system, and our material recycling rate will be 81.7% in FY2020, thanks to cross-area collection and thorough sorting. The company is contributing to the recycling of construction waste. In addition, in June 2021, we will create furniture using waste materials for the "Ethical Living Mate," a project to discuss environmental actions with next-generation creators, and design chairs using waste materials with students from the University of Tokyo's Faculty of Engineering at the SEKISUI HOUSE KUMA-LAB, which has Kengo Kuma as a special professor. Our zero-emissions activities are also being used to introduce the idea of circular economy to the younger generation.
