IETC joins a multi-stakeholder group of private sector groups,
eco-town enterprises, universities and research institutions to
support and provide advice to the 3R Technology Support Consortium,
set up by the Osaka Prefectural Government.
The consortium was set up to enable collaboration between Osaka
and cities in developing countries to assist them in facing the
grwoing problem of waste, and how to use advanced technology to
reduce and recycle waste materials.
IETC has been advising and assisting Osaka in the establishment
of the multistakeholder consortium and in investigating the needs
of Asian cities. Currently, the Consortium plans to undertake research
in P.R. China, Malaysia, Thailand and Vietnam.
In 2007, the Consortium plans to expand its activities to further
support cities in Asia. Recycling firms and researchers in Osaka
will help in preparing educational materials and hands-on exercises
to facilitate the transfer of 3R technologies |
