JSC consists of five member organizations: the Sewerage Business Management Centre, the Japan Sewerage Works Association, the Japan Sewerage Works Agency, the Japan Environmental Sanitation Center, and the Japan Environmental Improvement Education Center.
Each of these organizations specializes in either off-site or on-site treatment and was established approximately 40 years ago to address environmental issues caused by sewage and human waste. At that time, Japan was experiencing severe water pollution as a result of its economic growth.
These five specialized organizations have successfully tackled sanitation issues and continue to contribute to ensuring that the Japanese public can safely use water and that sanitation systems are professionally operated and managed.
At JSC, we believe that our specialized and unique experience across a broad range of sanitation fields—from off-site (sewer systems) to on-site treatment—in Japan will be extremely valuable to countries in the Asia-Pacific region that require improvements in sanitation. Incidentally, in Japan today, the collection and treatment of human waste still accounts for 10 percent of the total wastewater treated.
Furthermore, we offer specialized capacity-building and technical assistance programs and can propose methods for upgrading existing systems.
Unlike consultants, JSC aims to promote effective measures, legal frameworks, and institutional management.
For all those involved in sanitation—including universities, local consultants, engineers, project staff, and politicians—we seek to enhance knowledge and develop human resources through research, improvements to educational institutions, the development of training courses, and the organization of seminars and workshops.
