Regarding general waste collection in Japan, it is important to deal with issues such as the management stability of business operators and the securing of manpower for collection work. Based on this awareness of the problem, as part of a comparison with other countries, Singapore, which is characterized by a small land area and a high population density similar to Japan, has Public Waste Collectors, which is the core of the household waste collection system. Some of the three PWC companies are part of a large corporate group, while others have grown from scratch. The corporate value of each company has expanded and grown compared to around 2000, when the privatization of the collection business began in earnest, and the recently reported sale of SembWaste is expected to cost approximately 50 billion yen. It's getting bigger. It can be said that increasing the scale of collection companies is one direction for securing profitability.
