Locations covered: Hachioji Plant, Hanno Plant, and Tsuchiura Plant. The Furudono Plant is only included in reduction of resource (paper) use
Waste Reduction and Reuse of Waste Resources
In order to reduce waste, we are implementing various initiatives, such as replacing cardboard boxes for packaging delivered parts with reusable plastic boxes, and having wooden pallets picked up by shipping companies. Targets have been set for waste reduction and the reuse of waste resources at each plant. All waste from the Hachioji Plant is recycled, by means including thermal recycling. We are also working to increase the recycling rate at the Tsuchiura Plant by switching to a vendor that treats liquid waste for recycling.
In addition, when industrial waste is discharged, an industrial waste management manifest is created in accordance with the Act on Waste Management and Public Cleaning to ascertain whether it has been properly disposed of and carry out related management.
Reduction of Resource (Paper) Use
In order to reduce our use of paper, we are creating an environment in which work can be performed during every process within the company using electronic data. By replacing documents such as purchase orders and invoices with electronic data through the electronic transaction system (ACCRETECH Web-EDI System), which was launched into operation in December 2023, the Hachioji Plant reduced paper consumption by approximately 24% of the fiscal 2022 level.
