Complying with regulatory requirementswith a variety of mitigation measures
We have installed four activated carbon deodorizers in the
crushing and transshipment/storage facility and have constructed
shutters around our storage yards for sludge and for plant and animal
residues. These shutters remain closed except when the waste is being
delivered. High-concentration odors generated in the drying facilities are
combustion-deodorized in the combustion chambers of the biomass
boilers. As for various low-concentration odors, these are neutralizedwith chemicals by chemical cleaning equipment. In fiscal 2019, theresults of odor measurements required under the Environmental
Protection Agreement with Nishinomiya City were all within regulatory
values (p. 20).

measures

Maintaining water quality through regularanalyses
Wastewater generated during the waste treatment process isreleased into the sewer system only after the total volume has been fully
treated by our water treatment facility. We have installed a pH meter in
our wastewater treatment facility to provide continuous monitoring aspart of our regular analysis of the water we discharge. We have adopted
voluntary standards that are even more stringent than the regulatory
values, and we conduct voluntary testing for the monthly wastewater
quality inspections undertaken by the competent authorities in an effort
to prevent any problems from arising.

Measures to prevent leakage andoutflow from spills of waste
beverages
Committed to preventing waste leakage
and outflow

Our Reverse Management Center has installed gutters along its
periphery and an 8-cubic-meter reservoir so that any spill or leakage
due to collapse or unpacking of the waste beverages in containers
located onsite does not escape the site. In addition, when collecting andtransporting waste with a high water content, we use watertightcontainers with rubber gaskets to prevent leakage.
