Located at the western edge of Shizuoka Prefecture and facing to Lake Hamanako, famous at eel,
Kosai Plant is the center of research and development as well as manufacturing of FDK Group.
In ﬁscal 2004, the plant took a central role in theenvironmental activities of FDK Group including
planning, guiding and leading other plants in termsof various environmental rules and regulations forthe entire group. The activities of Kosai Plant
during ﬁscal 2004 include the following items.
1. 13 development items were selected as Super-Green
Products having top environmental elements mainlyby the plant s research and development function(eco-friendly product development). All therequirements by customers for complying with
the RoHS Directive were responded and met.
2. Due to an increase in production volume, CO 2
emission was slightly increased. However, theenergy consumption per unit of production was
reduced due to a through control by compiling
electricity control standards. The eﬀorts wererecognized from the Japanese Government as an

excellent factory of energy control.
3. All wastes generated by the plant were recycled.
For example, waste plastics which had long been aconcern of the plant for management were separated
by increased separation category. Thus, zero emissionof wastes was achieved in the plant.
In the future, the plant will commit itself in eﬃcientuse of materials and reducing the volume of waste
generated in the plant i.e. using waste paper as
resources.

Located at Asa in northern Sanyo-Onoda City
on the west coast of Seto Inland Sea in Yamaguchi Prefecture and facing to Suonada, Sanyo
Plant is blessed with natural beauty.
Sanyo Plant is now in the process of shifting
ferrite production to mass production of FPD(ﬂat panel display) and other electronic partsand piezoceramic applied products. The changeof production mode will incur signiﬁcant impact
on the plant s energy conditions. In this process,the following items are particularly emphasized.
1. Prevention of global warming: to reduceenergy consumption
2. Promotion of a green factory①Reduction of toluene emission in theatmosphere②Reduction of waste generated③Achieving zero emission of wastes

In particular, eﬃcient utilization of waste plastics
and waste solvents contributed the plant toachieve zero emission at the end of ﬁscal 2004.
In the future, the plant is determined to promote
environmental protection activities and to makeutmost eﬀorts in reducing environmental burdens
with the entire eﬀorts of the staﬀ in the plant.

Promotion ofGreen Factories

Located at the northeast end of Lake Hamanako
and blessed with abundant nature, FDK Engineering is engaged in production of manufacturing facilities. The beautiful climate aroundthe area stimulates the company to be highly
environmental conscious in order to keep the
local and global environment in good condition.
The main environmental preservation activitiesof the company include; (1) use of production
facility with eco-friendly design that aims at
prohibiting hazardous chemical substances andmaterials for the machine and equipment andminitualizing the facilities to reduce the total
amount of hazardous substances and materials,(2) reduction of greenhouse gas emission by
reducing total energy consumed by its production facilities and (3) zero emission to reduce
disposal of waste materials and packaging
materials to a minimum and reuse them asmaterials. After obtaining the ISO14001 certiﬁcation together with FDK Corporation, various
environmental preservation activities havebeen settled in the company. The ratio of

Environmental Activity Topics in ﬁscal 2004
1. Compliance to the RoHS Directives was
progressed in the development of eco-friendly
products. Especially, all the VCOs (voltage
controlled oscillator) produced in this plant
became RoHS compliant.
2. Reduction of toluene, the PRTR targeted
substance was addressed for appropriate
control of hazardous chemical substances.
Alternative washing agents of jigs were
examined and selected. The total volume
of toluene consumed in the plant was
decreased by 44% over that in the previous

year, coupled with the employment of an alternative washing agent for SMT (surface mounttechnology) in the previous year.
3. Use of returnable containers was started fortransporting parts between customers andIwaki Plant. This is a part of the plant s production innovation to reduce generation of wastes.
The activity is expected to reduce the volumeof using cardboard boxes in the future.

Located in the blessed nature of Kosai City
on the western coast of Lake Hamanako, FDK
Energy is a hub of manufacturing and technical development of alkaline batteries andlithium batteries. In ﬁscal 2004, its environmental activities were centered on reductionof energy consumption and zero emission ofwastes under the condition of increased production volumes year by year.
The reduction of energy consumption included
introduction of a smaller-sized thermal contraction furnace used in the manufacturing process.
To reduce the generation of wastes, segmented
separation of waste plastics were thoroughly
done and plastics disposed previously by
landﬁll were recycled. Due to such eﬀorts, zero
emission was achieved in March 2005. In
addition to this, we encourage our suppliers
to revise the practice of using boxes to deliverproducts to us. This has reduced the volume

of waste box disposal to a quarter.
The company s eﬀort for eco-friendly products
included promotion of controlling products containing hazardous chemical substances. Use of solder
containing lead to soldering connecters and othercomponents was totally eliminated. Besides this,use of packaging materials made of recycled
PET materials and intermediate boxes printed
by soybean ink are also promoted in the company
by which eco-friendly company management ispracticed from the design phase of products.

Being the ﬁrst production site established by FDK
in the mainland China, Xiamen FDK obtained theISO14001 certiﬁcation on January 5, 1999. Since
then, with the environmental policy of reducing
environmental burdens and improve the environment continuously by observing laws and regulations and pursuing clean production, the company
has been actively involved in energy saving, reduction of wastes, control of hazardous chemical
substances, environmental education and social
contributions.
1. Energy saving: The utility power consumed perunit of production in ﬁscal 2004 was decreased
by approx. 21% over that in ﬁscal 2002.
2. Recycling of wastes: The volume of wastes
recycled is growing year by year through theintroduction of plastic cartons and palettes.
3. Lead-free: Starting from the experiment phase inﬁscal 2002, the company has achieved the leadfree ratio of 83% in ﬁscal 2004.
4. Environmental education: Various educations
and trainings are implemented in the company
based on its annual environmental education
plan. In addition to classroom style educations,a company environmental circular is regularly
issued, and in April, annual environmental
activity reinforcement month, an environmental promotion event is held every year.

5. Social contributions: Volunteers from the company
take part in environmental cleaning campaigns
more than once a year to collect garbage at
beaches and parks, and plant trees.
6. Recognition system: Since ﬁscal 2001, the company
has been recognized as a Company of Beautiful
Garden, by the city of Xiamen every year. In
ﬁscal 2003, the company was recognized as theenvironmentally advanced company by the environmental protection bureau of the city. Followed
to this is the recognition of the advanced company of saving and total recycling of resources in
Xiamen by the Government of Xiamen City in
April 2005. Xiamen FDK will continue environmental improvement activities based on its environmental policy.
