Founding Period
Daiei Kankyo group was founded in 1979 in Izumi City, Osaka Prefecture, by Kazumasa Shimoji, Fumio Kaneko and two others. In the following year, we obtained disposal permits from Osaka Prefecture for nine types of waste, and opened a controlled final disposal site approximately 650,000 m3 in volume. After that, we expanded our business, and made capital investments while shifting toward recycling, laying the foundation of the group.

Our journey began from a final disposal site. At that time, it was thought to be impossible to obtain a permit due to stiff opposition from the local community. However, we made persistent, good faith efforts to explain the need for a site, and eventually acquired the necessary permits.
