Environmentally Conscious Production Processes and Office Activities

Prevention of Global WarmingWith energy consumption accounting for mostly of CO2 emissions at CMK production facilities in Japan, conserving
energy is an important activity for reducing CO2.
The CMK Group promotes energy conservation in every facet of business activities at its production facilities, oﬃces,
another workplaces to reduce CO2, a major cause of global warming.
In the 2011 ﬁscal year, CO2 emissions by Group companies in Japan totaled 96,773t-CO2 (a reduction of 12.2% fromlevels in the previous year) and 77,214t-CO2 for overseas Group companies (a reduction of 14.8% from levels in theprevious year).

New formula for converting electrical energy to CO2
From FY 2006, CMK switched from an industry group's carbon dioxide emissions coeﬃcient to that used by Japan's Ministry of
the Environment.
A default value of 0.000555t-CO2 /KWh is used for overseas data. At the Thai factory alone, the value is recalculated byconverting to the coeﬃcient（0.000197 t-CO2/KWh）for power generation at the industrial park.
Caloriﬁc value of city gas（13A）
In FY 2008, CMK changed the caloriﬁc value of city gas from 46（GJ/1,000 m3）used in FY 2007 to42（GJ/1,000 m3）.

Responses to the Revised Act on the Rational Use of Energy, the Revised Act on Promotion of
Global warning Countermeasures, and Ordinances to Prevent Global Warming
CMK regularly convenes a Working Group on CO2 reduction to examine ways of dealing with CO2 reduction andchanges in the laws.
With regard to the revised Act on the Rational Use of Energy, we have decided on the reporting structure, energy supervisor and energy planner at CMK and at the domestic Group companies, and we are now making preparations forlegal reporting requirements.
With regard to local government ordinances for the prevention of global warming including those of the Metropolitan
Tokyo government, we are planning our response by scrutinizing the ordinance requirements and the targeted business sites.

Environmentally Conscious Production Processes and Office Activities

Waste Reduction，Resource Recycling and Resource-saving Activities
Total waste and valuable resources generated in the 2011 ﬁscal year by CMK Group companies in Japan was 23,386tons.
The zero-emissions rate during this period was 99.8%, an deterioration of 0.2 percentage points from the previous ﬁscal year.
Total waste and valuable resources generated by overseas CMK Group companies was 10,769tons.
The zero-emissions rate was 92.8%, an increase of 6.4 percentage points from the previous ﬁscal year.
The domestic Group was unable to maintain the 100% zero emissions rate due to the impact of the Great East Japan Earthquake.
At our overseas facilities, CMKC (DONG GUAN) LTD. achieved zero emissions. The overseas factories are actively promoting
activities intended to achieve zero emissions although the activities depend to some extent on national or regional factors in the
countries where they operate.

Examples of Activities at the Production Bases
Energy conservation case studies
Energy Conservation Initiatives at CMK PRODUCTS CORPORATION
・Conserving energy by developing an inverter for jet pumps
The company has reduced electricity consumption by developing an inverter for jet
pumps.
By using the inverter to control and adjust frequencies, the company has been able tohalve electricity consumption, and to reduce expenditure on electric power by 3 million
yen a year（*）.
* Calculations are based on 343 days after deducting 22 stoppage days in the year. Installation
costs are recovered in about 3 months.

・Conserve energy by controlling drying kilns with a thyristor
Aiming to control peak-time electric power, the company installed and remodeled thyristors for the drying kilns.
The results are shown in Fig. 1. Using a wattmeter to compare measurements, the company found that they were able
to reduce electricity consumption by approximately 193,000 yen a year.
Since they had been using a magnetic switch that had to be replaced frequently, they were also able to cut costs
because it was no longer needed.

Fig. 1
Peak time for temperature increases

Peak time for temperature increases

The switch goes on and oﬀ atintervals of 4 to 5 seconds tomaintain the temperature.
(When it is on, the output is12-13 kw.)
To maintain temperatures, a
SCR is used to control output
from the temperature regulator.

07 2012 Environmental DataYAMANASHI SANKO CO., LTD. Conserving energy by introducing new equipment andreviewing equipment for the resist spray process
The company was able to make big reductions in electricity consumption by installing new equipment and reviewing theequipment for the resist spray process.
Previously, there were both upstream and downstream lines for the spray coating process, and each line also had adrying line. But by introducing a line with electrostatic spray, it is now possible to coat both the front and back at thesame time. As a result, only one drying line is needed, which has contributed greatly to cutting back on electricity
consumption.
Moving the silk printing process from the factory at the head oﬃce to the spray factory, and reviewing the equipment
have also reduced electricity consumption. Replacing the conventional heating and drying furnaces with far-infrared
drying furnaces has resulted in 30% energy savings.

Energy Conservation Initiatives at CMK MULTI CORPORATION
・Well water Conserve energy by pre-cooling ･･･ Summer use of well water used to clear snow
in winter
During the winter, six pumps draw groundwater for clearing snow at CMK MULTI CORPORATION.
The water was not used at other times of the year, but by installing coils in the air ducts of the outdoor air conditioning
units for summer, the company operated two air conditioning units by passing well water through the coils, cooling to
20℃ by pre-cooling with 15℃ well water. As a result, the company conserved energy and reduced gas and electricity
consumption by stopping one cool-warm water generator and cold water pumps.
As a result of this initiative, the company has reduced power consumption in summer by approximately 71,000 KWh
and gas consumption by approximately 55,000 Nm3.
External pre-coil・ Conserve energy by developing inverters for ventilators and outdoor air conditioning units
When the motors for 13 ventilators and outdoor airconditioning units were inspected and air volumes were compared, it
was found that utilization rates were 30 to 70%.
Air volume had been regulated with dampers due to excess supply and exhaust, but by developing an inverter, thecompany conserved energy by controlling appropriate levels of supply and exhaust volumes.
As a result, power consumption was reduced by approximately 740,000 KWh per year.

With the enactment of the Automobile Nox and PM Law in October 2003,useof non-compliant diesel vehicles is subject to regulation in designatedregions.In response to these restrictions,CMK switched the diesel vehicles in
its sales ﬂeet to gasoline-powered vehicles（Full switch as of FY 2006）.
At the same time, it worked to reduce CO2 emissions by switching to small
gasoline-powered vehicles（using engines of 1300cc or less）with high fueleﬃciency and low emissions.
As a result, the company owns 75 gasoline-powered compact cars, and 33
gasoline-powered cars.

Summer Energy-saving Eﬀorts

In accordance with governmental guidelines, during the summer, the CMK Group sets oﬃce air
conditioners in areas where ambient temperatures do not aﬀect product quality to 28℃.
This helps relieve consumption and demand at a time of the year when most air conditioners in Japanare operating at full capacity and energy demand is at a peak. Each business site regularly implements
energy eﬃciency patrols under the guidance of the energy eﬃciency committees.
The annual no-necktie program has continued, though now under the new cool biz designation
By promoting environmental protection programs in which all employees can readily participate, CMK
seeks to raise environmental awareness among all of its employees.

Providing Information in the Form ofMaterial Safety Data Sheet (MSDS)

Inquiries Regarding Life Cycle Assessment

The enactment of the PRTR Law brought many requests for CMK
product information to be presented in MSDS format.
Because our products are not subject to mandatory MSDS
disclosure by the PRTR Law, we do not issue MSDS for them.
(This view is shared by the Japan Printed Circuit Association.)
Nevertheless, we diligently disclose product environmental
information in formats not restricted to MSDS.

With the goal of producing environmentally sensitive
products, many CMK customers introduce the life-cycle
assessment (LCA) method to assess their production
processes and the components they purchase.
As part of these eﬀorts, CMK is working to adopt the LCA
method in production processes for its products in order toprovide customers with the data they need.
