Reducing environmental impact

Engaged in minimizing the impact manufacturing can have on the environment,
the LINTEC Group is naturally striving to reduce its energy usage, CO2 emissions,and waste. However, we are also engaged in reducing both the organic solventsused when applying adhesives or release agents to substrates and the amount ofwater used when manufacturing paper. In addition, we are working to reduce thevolatile organic compounds (VOCs) released into the air by installing exhaust-gas
treatment facilities at each of our plants.
