Kokkoo is using subsidies from Hiroshima Prefecture to build a decarbonization model through the demolition of the Fukuyama Government Building and resource-circulation processes. It has achieved closed-loop recycling of aluminum and glass and set a target of reducing CO2 emissions by 30% through domestic resource circulation.
Kokkoo (Kure, Hiroshima Prefecture) is using Hiroshima Prefecture’s Subsidy for the Creation and Promotion of Value-Creating Decarbonization Models to build a decarbonization model around the demolition of the Hiroshima Prefectural Government’s Fukuyama Government Building. Through the demolition and resource-circulation processes, it is testing coordination between new design and construction practices based on the premise of recycling materials.
According to the article, the company is developing an initiative that links domestic resource circulation from demolition work through remanufacturing, and aims to establish the technologies and processes needed for closed-loop recycling of aluminum and glass. The objective is to increase the reuse of waste materials and the circularity of resources.
For CO2 emissions reductions, the company has set a target of reducing CO2 emissions from the demolition and recycling processes by 30% through operation of the overall decarbonization model. The article does not specify the reduction volume or timeframe, but development of the model based on the use of subsidies is under way.
