1. Efforts for Zero Emission from Industrial Waste (100% achievement)
Activities to reduce our final landfill disposal amount began in fiscal 2007 (more than 180 tons), and in 2011, we achieved arecycling rate of 100% as we repeatedly encouraged external intermediate waste treatment facilities to promote recycling.
In terms of minimizing waste from the perspective of 3M (muri, muda and mura in Japanese, or “impossible, useless andinconsistent” in English), we have thoroughly reduced waste in manufacturing processes, and in 2013, the waste amount
was limited to 148 tons.
2. Reducing CO2 emissions
As an activity to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, we are improving constructi on methods, installing high-efficiency
equipment, and using energy-saving lighting. We are also implementing activities to eliminate equipment that uses boilers
in order to minimize the use of heavy oils, and, by switching fuels (from heavy oil A to LPG or electricity), we areendeavouring to reduce emissions of the greenhouse gas CO 2. We will continnue to promote environmental measures as
we aim to eliminate the use of boilers and switch to low CO 2 energies.
