Ecocement Manufacturing Plant
Tokyo Tama Ecocement Facility

July 2006, operation of the Tokyo Tama Ecocement Facility owned by the Tokyo Tama Regional Association for Waste Management and Resource Recycling commenced operation in Hinode-cho, Nishitama-gun, Tokyo. The plant can manufacture some 130,000 tons of Ecocement a year. As the primary raw material for this Ecocement, it uses the incineration residue (90,000 tons/year) from burning the municipal waste generated in the Tama region (about 3.9 million people). Taiheiyo Cement Corporation then sells the Ecocement manufactured there.
