Construction of the incineration facility at the Nishinomiya Recycling Center

「The increase in property, plant and equipment was mainly attributable to a ¥6,478 million increase in construction in progress from construction of the Aioi Regional Energy Centre by the consolidated subsidiary Aioi Eco Service Co., Ltd., construction of an incineration facility at the company's Nishinomiya Recycling Centre, and the acquisition of a final disposal site, now the company's Iwaki facility. This was partly offset by a ¥1,600 million decrease in the final disposal site balance due to progress in landfill operations.」
