The final landfill disposal volume in FY
2013 was 198,000 tons, down 7,000
tons from FY 2012 and down 69%
from the FY 2000 level. Furthermore,
as well as reducing the final landfill
disposal volume, in accordance withlegal revisions member companies
are strengthening their verificationof the proper disposal of waste by,among other things, the issuance,
recovery, and verification of industrial
waste manifestos and the inspectionof final disposal sites.

reduction of about 74% from the FY
2000 level. Because the number ofdesignated substances increased
following a revision of the law, thevolume of emissions temporarily increased in FY 2010, but since then the
downward trend has continued. Emissions into the atmosphere accounted
for 92.8% of the total, and emissions
into water areas for 7.2%. Soil emissions, which accounted for less than
0.1% in FY 2012.

29,727The emissions of voluntary surveyed
substances was 19,936 tons, resulting
in over 60% reduction compared to FY
2000. The breakdown of the emission
quantities was 93% for emissions into
the air and 7% for emissions into water areas. Zero emission into the soil in
FY 2012 and 2013.
Note) Change in the number of substances voluntarily surveyed by JCIA:
From FY 2000 to 2009:
125 substances and 1 substance group*
From FY 2010 to 2012:
105 substances and 1 substance group*
From FY 2013 to the current:
89 substances and 1 substance group** Chain hydrocarbons with up to 4 to 8 numbersof carbon atoms
Reference: Emission amounts in FY 2012 were
4,277 tons for 16 substances (such as sulfuric
acid, nitric acid, and ammonia) which were
excluded from the survey from FY 2013.

Member companies are making tremendous efforts to install equipment
and improve processes for controlling emissions of volatile organic
compounds (VOCs). In FY 2013 VOCemissions amounted to 29,727 tons,
almost the same as the FY 2012 leveland down 67% from the base year,
thereby continuing a significant downward trend.

Chemical companies in Japan have significantly reduced air and water pollutant emissions. In particular, members haveestablished voluntary management criteria that are more stringent than the regulatory standards. Also, by complying withlocal government agreements, members are working to further reduce emissions.

Notes: 1. High-concentration PCB waste: Electric equipment, such as transformers and capacitors, thatused PCB intentionally as insulating oil before the termination of PCB manufacture (before 1972).
Insulating oil contains from about 50% to 100% PCB.
2. Low-concentration PCB waste: Electric equipment made after the termination of PCB manufacture that unintentionally contained small quantities of PCB.

Under the Act on Special Measures
Concerning Promotion of Proper
Treatment of PCB Wastes, companies
were obligated to report on the stateof storage and disposal of polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) to the prefectural governor and to dispose of PCB
waste within 15 years of the law’s enforcement on July 15, 2001. However,a partial revision of the decree enforcing the law on December 12, 2012,extended the deadline for the disposalof PCB waste to March 31, 2027.
The actual results obtained from treatment of the PCB wastes are steadily
increasing every year.

using green zones at plants, the preservation of water resources, and theprotection of endangered species.

In conjunction with the 10th Meetingof the Conference of the Parties to theConvention on Biological Diversity(COP 10) held in Nagoya in October
2010, Nippon Keidanren and others established the Private-Sector
Engagement Initiative on Biodiversity
to promote the preservation of biodiversity by companies and launched

Reasons for Conducting Prior Facility Evaluations

All member companies have priorevaluation criteria for facilities. In FY
2013, 99% of member companies
conducted prior facility evaluation. In
87% of the cases, the motivation was
the new construction, addition, or
remodeling of facilities.
