Abstract
Almost 30 months have been passed since Japan came face to face with various critical situations caused by the Great East Japan Earthquake.
 The media is drawing comparisons between the delay seen in disposing of the current Earthquake/Tsunami debris with the situations seen during the Great Kanto Earthquake in 1923 and the Great Hanshin Earthquake in 1995. On the other hand, in this case there also exists the extremely critical factor that a deadline of March 2015 has been set for completion of processing all the debris.
 Taking into account the varied viewpoints, this report investigates the present status of the debris left from the Great East Japan Earthquake and scopes out conceptual ideas for how to recycle it.
