Environmental Solution Activities
FDK Group companies deploy businesses specializing in environmental measures in response toheightened awareness for environmental issues and solution needs associated with them.

Business Activities at FUJIDENKA RESEARCH AND ANALYSIS CENTER CO., LTD.
As symbolized by the G8 Hokkaido Toyako Summit, there has been heightened awareness about global issues such as measures against
global warming, regulations for the registration (REACH) and use of hazardous substances (RoHS/ELV), prohibitions against PCBs inorganic solvent, the use of asbestos, and, etc., and measures to counter soil contamination.
Since its establishment in 1976, FUJIDENKA RESEARCH AND ANALYSIS CENTER CO., LTD. has been supporting corporate andregional environmental conservation activities based on our environmental survey and analysis technology. We serve our customers withthe latest environmental and Green IT technology including facilities, information and networks.

Hazardous Substance Surveys and Reliability
Testing Pertaining to Green Procurement

Comprehensive Survey and Measuresfor Soil and Underground Water Contamination

The EU s RoHS Directive and REACH are the examples ofglobal trend for stronger chemical regulations. Because of thistrend it has become common practice for manufacturers toforego the use of hazardous chemicals in their production processes.
We support corporate eﬀorts to engage in product development
and production that contributes to the reduction of their environmental burdens through the survey of hazardous chemical
substances pertaining to green procurement. Because green
procurement is directly connected to our customers productdevelopment and production, we make it our mission to always
provide prompt and accurate analysis.
In conjunction with the recent enactment of volatile organic
compound emissions regulations we now actively support VOC
measurement and analysis with a full lineup of measurement
equipment to assist our customers in their product development
activities.
Developing products using eco-friendly components can result in
unexpected problems or the recurrence of problems previouslysolved. Our comprehensive services include responding tocustomer requests to quickly determine possible degradation in
the bonding strength of lead-free solder using fault analysis tools
such as a thermal shock tester and an electron microscope andsurface rapping machine.

Since the enactment of the law concerning soil contamination
measures in February 2003, a voluntary soil and undergroundwater contamination survey upon sale of real estate has becomecommon practice along with the surveys required by laws andregulations. Also, the mandatory incorporation of debts from soil
contamination measures into business accounting has increased
the social need for our services.
To meet customer needs, we oﬀer a full range of services, frommaterials research to on-site survey and puriﬁcation measures,that we have nurtured through our long years of experience.

Disassembled and Separated ICs

In addition to performing various security measures according toFujitsu Recycling Center processing standards, we are now working on establishing a system of traceability to allow tracing fromthe initial to ﬁnal processing.

Management andOrganizational Structure

In addition to increasing the number of items handled, such as
ﬂuorescent tubes and Styrofoam, we have been expanding thearea of recovery and the transportation of those items. We aim at
the eﬀective utilization of resources by disassembling and separating recovered equipment for the purpose of reuse or recycling.
