Information Technology Utilization for Platform Construction in the Waste Disposal Treatment and Recycling Field

Abstract

The Low Carbon Working Group (hereinafter referred to as the “Low Carbon WG”), a part of the IoT Council of Waste Management and Recycling, has been focused since FY2017 on information sharing among facilities. It has since proposed to construct the Resource Circulation Data Platform using IoT technology. The WG has planned demo-projects for low carbonization by utilizing competitive funds, which has allowed the Group to launch these projects. A sub-WG was formed within the Low Carbon WG, allowing the Low Carbon WG itself to function as a cradle for forming the demo-project. In addition, a cross-cutting task force, also within the Low Carbon WG, was created in order to construct the Resource Circulation Data Platform through the collection of useful information and an evaluation based on case studies, need-based surveys, and a survey on the manifestation and construction of the system concept.
