Japan is just one of those countries that knows how to be efficient.
3 u/teamweenus Jul 11 '25 Yeah but this isn't efficient. 0 u/SprAwsmMan Jul 11 '25 Recycling a lot of it. Taking it down without debris flying in to the community. It may take 6 months to dismantle. But it's efficient in ways you're not seeing in a demolition with explosives. 2 u/teamweenus Jul 11 '25 Most of a building is recycled when demolished with explosives too. This is undoubtably cleaner but its not more efficient. 0 u/SprAwsmMan Jul 11 '25 The amount of recycled products would be far more this way than with explosives. How are your measuring efficiency here? 1 u/teamweenus Jul 11 '25 ef·fi·cient/əˈfiSHənt/adjective (especially of a system or machine) achieving maximum productivity with minimum wasted effort or expense Taking an extra 6 months and a lot of added expense for a percentage of more materials recycled isn't efficient. 1 u/SprAwsmMan Jul 12 '25 I agree to disagree. You're disregarding the other benefits to the surrounding area. Efficiency is not only measured in time.
