response, Mitsubishi Materials Group formulated a recycling system to recover highquality aggregate from these concrete ruins and in December 2001 played a key role in
the establishment of a research group with several major general contractors to pursue
advanced applications of recycled concrete. The core technology of concrete recovery
systems is the heated separation method, which removes aggregate, such as sand and
gravel, from waste concrete in a high-quality state. We are working to encourage greater
use of this method nationwide.

A recycling-orinted society utilizes waste as raw materials in a different

application to conserve the Earth's limited resources. Mitsubishi Materials
Group has embraced this philosophy and, through various operations,
including cement production, nonferrous metals smelting and refining, the
energy business and aluminum beverage can manufacturing, companies
within the Group effectively turn waste into reusable raw materials in
respective business segments or render them harmless to the
environment.
These activities are complemented by additional eco-oriented
businesses, such as home appliance recycling, which is undertaken in
cooperation with home appliance makers.
Meanwhile, the Naoshima Smelter & Refinery recycles valuable metals
and joins the local community in a nationally recognized Eco Town
project. The smelter/refinery supports the project through on-site
processing of wastewater and molten fly ash produced by an industrial
waste treatment facility on the neighboring island of Teshima in Kagawa
Prefecture.

Mitsubishi
By the early 1940s, the original Mitsubishi zaibatsu (Mitsubishi Company), founded in the early 1870s,
had expanded into virtually every sector of the economy, including mining, heavy industry, oil refining,
chemicals, banking, real estate, insurance, even aircraft manufacture. It was the biggest most powerful
industrial combine in pre-war Japan.
Then, with the advent of World War II, everything changed. After the war, the single organization was
dissolved into scores of independent companies that were no longer subject to central control.
The common misconception abroad however, is that Mitsubishi is still one giant company. This is not so.
It is a collection of dozens of autonomous companies. Some of them have been around for more than a
century, while others have grown up in the last few years.
