A research unit that integrates in-depth research on waste utilization to reduce ecological risks, value the waste and achieve carbon neutrality towards a sustainable environment. We focus on producing comprehensive studies on the utilization of waste from the municipal and industrial sectors and also create a network of governmental agencies, academic institutions and commercial enterprises to facilitate cooperation in sustainable environmental management.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

                  A research unit that integrates in-depth research on waste utilization to reduce ecological risks, value the waste and achieve carbon neutrality towards a sustainable environment. We focus on producing comprehensive studies on the utilization of waste from the municipal and industrial sectors and also create a network of governmental agencies, academic institutions and commercial enterprises to facilitate cooperation in sustainable environmental management. Research & Innovation Focus Sustainable Society + BCG NetZero + BCG Sustainable Society + Disaster & Environment Strategic Objectives To utilize waste as valorization, reduce ecological risks, including greenhouse gas reduction and sequestration To develop an integrated waste management system To establish cooperative environmental participation Target in 3 Years To produce in-depth research on the utilization of industrial and municipal waste for energy production, soil fertilization, wastewater treatment technology, greenhouse gas reduction, waste valorization in the circular economy, and ecosystem monitoring and risk assessment. To create a model for a sustainable society that addresses waste management in cities and on islands from the point of origin to the point of destination. To create a collaborative network of researchers from both public and private organizations to integrate environmental management towards a low-carbon and ecologically friendly society, including sourcing external funding to expand the scope of work of the unit to CE Research Highlights Converting carbon dioxide into mineral rocks to increase the strength of artificial reefs and paving bricks made from industrial waste.
