FY2020Initiatives to Reduce the Environmental Burden
Initiatives related to global warming/saving energy
In our production activities, we consume energy to manufacture products. This process emits CO2, a greenhouse gas. To
reduce CO2 emissions, we are implementing eﬀorts to reduce energy use in production processes.
As investments in various types of energy-saving equipment, we are carrying out systematic measures including
switching plant ceiling lighting to LEDs, migrating to high-eﬃciency equipment such as steam boilers, transformers, andair-conditioners, adopting inverters in compressors, and modifying steam piping. We also have implemented productivity
improvements to increase energy eﬃciency, including installation of new equipment and improving existing equipment.
In FY2020, our production volume decreased by 5.3% YoY, and our energy use and CO2 emissions also dropped by 2.0%
and 2.4%, respectively; however, our energy intensity worsened by 3.5% YoY.
In FY2021, we will continue to aggressively increase productivity and install more energy-saving equipment toward
the objectives.

FY2020Initiatives to Reduce the Environmental Burden
Initiatives related to saving resources/reducing waste● Efficient use of water resources
We have recycled more waste water from the washing and cooling steps in the production process in order to
eﬀectively conserve water resources.
In FY2020, the total intake of water resources was 88.8% YoY, an over 10% decrease. Total water discharge was
89.4% YoY, an over 10% reduction.
In FY2021, we will carry out activities to put a stop to this increasing trend in total water intake by reviewing
unnecessary use of water resources.

350 thousand square meters, surrounded by green mountains
nurtured by the clean water of the Lake Biwa water system andfresh air. With the backbone of Dynicʼs unique advanced technology, the plant produces many of the Dynicʼs key products, suchas book binding cloth, cloth for magnetic passbooks, wallpaper,and woven interlining.
Beneﬁting from the rich natural environment, the Shiga Plant
has also emphasized harmony with the natural environment andits conservation. The plant, fully equipped with wastewater
treatment facilities, is committed to recycling resources and hasearned a high reputation as a model plant themed on energy
conservation and no pollution.

Environmental index results

Reducing the environmental burden —Installation of energy-saving equipment●Upgrades to high-efficiency transformers
During this fiscal year the Shiga Plant upgraded its 1,000 KVA transformers
to high-efficiency models.
Not only has the upgrade considerably reduced power loss and CO2 emissions,but it has also lowered operating noise.

●Upgrades to high-efficiency roof fans
The roof fans at the first plant were upgraded to high-efficiency models. In the summer season,
the temperature inside the plant was sometimes higher than the outside air temperature by asmuch as 6°C. However, by installing 17 roof fans with evaporative air coolers utilizing the water
evaporation heat, the inside was cooled
down to the level at which the work area
feels cooler than the outside air, receiving
favorable comments from employees.

Efforts for biodiversity conservation: Working together with the local community●Zero waste cleanup activities
Every year, the town of Taga, where the Shiga Plant is located, holds cleanup activities around May 30 (gomizero, or “zero waste” day), designated by Shiga Prefecture as a day for environmental beautification activities.
In FY2020, the town-wide cleanup activities were canceled from the perspective of preventing the
spread of coronavirus infection; however, on Monday, June 1, our company independently conductedzero waste cleanup activities along National Highway 306 in the town of Taga.

The town of Taga, where the Shiga Plant is located, conducts annual cleanup activities on both banks of
the Seri River around December 1, designated by Shiga Prefecture as the basis date for environmental
beautification efforts.
We support these activities, and again this year, we participated in the Seri River cleanup activities on
Saturday, November 28.

●Forest conservation activities
Diverse nature conservation measures are being
implemented by the government and the private sector invarious parts of the prefecture. We support the volunteer
activities for forest improvement hosted by the Environmental
Conservation Association of Shiga Prefecture, of which we area member. On Saturday, October 31, as a member company,
our employees took part in the activities at the Konze no Sato
forest owned by the Konze Forestry Association in Ritto City.

Efforts for biodiversity conservation: Working together with the local community●Site preservation activities
Around the pond located on the site of the Shiga
Plant, cherry trees planted during the building construction are growing, and cherry blossoms bloom every
spring, providing a splendid view.
However, over the past few years, the scenic viewhas been spoiled for some reasons, such as vines
twining around the cherry trees being conspicuous. To
preserve biodiversity and raise environmental awareness, our employees carried out improvement activities
and wonderfully succeeded in blooming the cherry
blossoms at their best.

●Forest conservation
The Shiga Plant has about 2.8 hectares of cedar
forest planted around 1980 on its site. We regularly
conduct management and thinning to preserve thiscedar forest.
The cedar wood thinned in 2016 or so was used as apart of the construction materials for the Taga-town
Central Community Learning Center completed in April
2019.
The thinning work was carried out with grants andcooperation from Biwako Eastern Part Forestry Association,
Shiga Prefecture, and Taga Town.

into one location and upgraded. The installation in one location allowed
us to reduce the maintenance cost and efficiently operate the equipment.

The upgrade is expected to have a significant CO 2 reduction effect.
Concurrently with the upgrade of the boiler equipment, we visualized theoperational status, and it is now possible to quickly respond to failures suchas identifying where steam loss has occurred. We anticipate fuel-saving
effects through optimal operational settings and other efforts.
●Installation of solar power panels
In consideration of biodiversity, solar power panels were installedon the roofs of the plant buildings, which have low impact on thegreenery areas.
The installation of the panels reduced direct sunlight on the roofs,
resulting in a reduction of the power consumption for air
conditioning during the summer season.
