What DAIEI KANKYO does
DAIEI KANKYO (大栄環境株式会社), operating as the Daiei Kankyo Group and headquartered in Kobe, Hyogo Prefecture, Japan, is a vertically integrated environmental services company founded in 1979 that delivers one-stop waste management and resource circulation to Japanese municipalities, construction firms, factories, medical facilities, and general businesses. Its core operating model covers the full waste lifecycle — collection, transportation, intermediate processing, recycling, and final disposal — anchored by licensed permitting under Japan's Waste Management and Public Cleansing Law. The group distinguishes itself operationally through proprietary on-site protocols such as its seven-type waste plastic sorting system, which raised the construction-site recyclable rate from approximately 20% to 59% in the iCEP PLASTICS 'Dynamic and Static Artery Collaboration' consortium, and through a closed-loop process that returns recycled plastic lumber to the originating construction site.
The group operates seven primary business segments — waste processing/resource recycling, soil purification, facility construction and operations management, environmental consulting, energy creation, forest conservation, and ancillary staffing/agriculture — alongside two manufactured recycled-product lines (aluminum pellets and recycled plastic pallets) and the Izumi Recycling Environment Park, a community-facing environmental education facility in Sakai, Osaka. It also wholly owns and operates INAC Kobe Leonessa, a women's professional football club in the WE League that won the 2025/26 SOMPO WE League Championship. Reported revenue reached approximately ¥553.5 billion in fiscal 2026, up from ¥482.6 billion in 2024, reflecting recent recovery after a mid-period dip.
The business model is B2B professional services plus secondary-material sales, with revenue drawn from waste processing fees, resource recycling fees, facility construction and operations contracts, environmental consulting, and hardware sales of recycled aluminum pellets and plastic pallets. Distribution is primarily direct — enterprise sales outreach, municipal procurement engagement, and a direct walk-in/bring-in service for businesses — concentrated in Japan's Kansai region. Strategic positioning increasingly tilts toward regulatory alignment with Japan's circular-economy and plastic-resource-circulation agenda, evidenced by the group's leadership of a 12-company consortium selected for the Ministry of the Environment's FY2026 supplementary-budget feasibility study on recycled plastics for automobiles.
