Environmental Activities and Results
We are working hard to conserve the environment, including reducing greenhouse gas emissions and making effective use of resources, in order to coexist harmoniously with society, our global community and nature ("Living Together").

Energy Conservation Efforts
In FY 2022, too, we exchanged our facilities with more energy-efficient ones to reduce power consumption.
● Historical Power Consumption Data
Efforts to Reduce Industrial Waste
Separating plastic and composite waste into more categories enabled us to recycle waste. In addition, we recycled waste toner (not fit for commercialization) generated during production and sorted/reused wooden pallets that had previously been disposed of as wood waste.
● Historical Industrial Waste Generation Data
Efforts to Reduce Water Use
We improved the waste-water treatment equipment at toner production area to reduce water usage. This resulted in a reduction in water consumption of 240 [m3] per year.
● Historical Water Use Data
See below for the plant's other FY 2022 environmental data.

Participation in "Uchi-mizu Large-scale Operation"
In response to the call from the Hirakata City Global Warming Prevention Council, to address the summer heat, as part of the efforts, our plant participated in the city-wide "Uchi-mizu Large-scale Operation," conducted collectively for the local administration, businesses, and individuals in Hirakata City. We carried out the watering of roads within the factory premises as a measure.
