Make and Break with Industrial Waste. Discover the Quirkiness of Things
Nakadai is a company that has pioneered the business of “remarketing industrial waste” by “creating new ways to use and designing new ways to dispose.” Nakadai will be operating the Ikaho Factory once again this year at Hara Museum ARC. Participants will be able to experience making things with plastic cable connectors, printed circuit boards, pellets and other materials, as well as disassembling printers and computers, and a Materials Shop will provide a selection of industrial waste as products.
With the huge fuss to upgrade or replace personal computers during the “2014 Windows XP Security Problem” still fresh in our memories, why not activate your creativity while learning about the changing trends in industrial waste at the Nakadai Ikaho Factory?

Sumiyuki Nakadai (Managing Director, Nakadai Co., Ltd.; Mono: Factory Representative)
After graduating from the Faculty of Science at the Tokyo University of Science, worked at a securities company, then joined Nakadai in 1999. His various activities to expand as a comprehensive recycling business includes ISO14001 certification, auctions of used items, and other ways to kick-start the reuse marketplace. His idea of the remarketing business is based on the “creation of new ways to use and design of new ways to dispose.” He founded the Mono: Factory based on the concept “ideas are born from materials.” In 2013, he received an award from the Good Design Award and the 3P Promotion Forum Special Award. He lectures and provides corporate training at local governments and universities, provides comprehensive consulting on waste materials, and organizes and conducts events that make use of waste. He is a business artist who creates new corporate values.
Mono: Factory http://monofactory.nakadai.co.jp
Nakadai is a company based in Gumma prefecture which does intermediate processing and recycling of industrial waste and industrial waste consulting business, as well as operation of the Mono: Factory and remarketing business optimizing the distribution of things. Every month it brings in 1,000 tons of waste into its Maebashi branch, which is where it processes waste materials, achieving a reuse rate of more than 98%. At the Mono: Factory, which operates on the concept of “Ideas come from materials,” it conducts factory tours, sales and workshops that provide people with the experience of recycling, equating waster materials as raw materials. In 2013, it received the Good Design Award. It has attracted attention as a company that creates uses and designs ways of discarding for “things” that have been judged to be of no worth by companies and individuals.
