Introduction of EcoTraceDX for PCB Management

Environmental Tech Solutions, based in Chiyoda, Tokyo, has unveiled its new AI-driven cloud platform, EcoTraceDX for PCB, aimed at assisting with the identification and proper disposal of PCB-containing equipment. Launching on June 15, 2026, this service is developed with the motto of turning records into proof, addressing critical industry challenges surrounding PCB waste disposal.

The Need for Efficient PCB Management

With a looming deadline of March 2027 for the disposal of low-concentration PCB waste, many corporations and local governments struggle to accurately identify all affected devices. Common issues include the loss of information due to personnel changes, indecision regarding whether specific devices contain PCBs, and uncertainty related to the appropriate processing methods.

The pressing need for a comprehensive solution is underscored by the formidable task at hand—Ensuring that everyone involved can effectively navigate these complications before the deadline.

How EcoTraceDX Works

User-Friendly Registration

Users can simply upload relevant information such as:

• - Photos of the devices
• - Manufacturer name
• - Model number
• - Year of manufacture

This data is analyzed against past PCB assessment records and manufacturer disclosures to determine the likelihood of PCB presence in the items.

Guidance on Device Analysis

For those devices that prove difficult to assess, EcoTraceDX provides invaluable advice, including:

• - The necessity of analysis
• - Low-concentration PCB relevance
• - Recommended disposal methods
• - Storage precautions

Furthermore, users can access verified manufacturer information to streamline their investigation processes.

Track Record of Environmental Tech Solutions

Having previously managed over 250,000 devices with a combined weight of 800 tons in PCB waste, Environmental Tech Solutions is well-equipped to take comprehensive action. Their extensive experience includes partnerships with major railway firms, significant manufacturers, and governmental bodies, offering fully integrated services from investigation to analysis, transportation, and disposal.

With EcoTraceDX, this valuable field knowledge is compiled and transformed into a user-friendly database utilizing advanced AI technology, allowing for more efficient decision-making processes throughout the entire disposal cycle.

Collaborative Development with Forone Holdings

The innovative EcoTraceDX platform has been created in collaboration with Forone Holdings, a company specializing in AI and cloud systems, which is also headquartered in Tokyo. The synergy between Environmental Tech Solutions' vast experience and Forone Holdings' technological prowess has birthed a practical AI service tailored specifically for the environmental sector.

The service continuously evolves, incorporating frontline knowledge amassed by PCB investigators into the AI model, ensuring high-precision detection support.

Future Expansions Are Coming

Looking ahead, Environmental Tech Solutions plans to introduce EcoTraceDX for Asbestos and incorporate payment functionalities by August 2026. Current developments also include modules for handling PFAS, industrial waste management, and capabilities aimed at analysis companies.

These features aim to create a comprehensive platform for managing environmental data, linking investigation, analysis, transportation, and disposal for a wide array of hazardous materials such as PCB, asbestos, and medical waste.

To kickstart the service, a pre-launch campaign will run until the end of July 2026, allowing for the first 200 organizations to enjoy no registration and annual fees until June 2027.

Leadership Perspective

Masakazu Shirai, President of Environmental Tech Solutions, expresses his vision:

"We have conducted over 250,000 PCB waste surveys for transformers, capacitors, and more across the nation. EcoTraceDX merges our rich field experience with AI to enable simple management and proper processing of PCBs. We aspire to evolve this system further to encompass other hazardous materials, steadily working towards transforming environmental data from mere records into validated proof."
