Corporate History
Daiseki was established in 1958, when the term "recycling" was not yet in common use. We began business from the manufacturing of lubricating oil and the recycling of waste oil.
Later on, in 1972, we received a license for the industrial waste disposal business. Ever since that time, we have promoted the building of a circular society under the philosophy of "making the best use of limited resources." As an environmental value-creation company, Daiseki will continue to contribute to the development of a sustainable society through the solution of social issues.
