The event began with opening remarks by Dr. Ir.

Meanwhile, Tazawa explained Amita’s approach to sustainable waste management, stating, “We are producing and recycling. Waste is often a mix of different things, and Amita’s values are to make these wastes usable. By doing so, we can reduce the amount of waste produced while producing something useful.”  (Graciella V, PR Team. Photo: PR Team)
