Abstract Three topics on the excavation and utilization of soils in Japan are presented in this paper. First, the current status of the generation and reuse of excavated soils is presented. Since natural contamination has been a concern in recent years, several efforts including experimental studies to evaluate the environmental suitability of these materials have been conducted. Second, traceability in environmental geotechnics is becoming an important consideration. One joint project, in which the excavated soils generated from shield tunnel excavation are utilized as a soil material for reclamation, utilizes the electronic toll collection (ETC) system to track the soil materials. Third, the utilization of recovered soils obtained from disaster debris mixtures generated by the 2011 East Japan earthquake and tsunami is required. Several issues on the proper treatment to obtain the soils from waste mixture and to utilize these soils in geotechnical applications are discussed.
