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").

FY 2022 Targets and Results

Category FY 2022 Targets FY 2022 Results

Energy use

Improve energy use per unit by more than 2% year-on-year

Energy Conservation Efforts

In June 2019, we installed 2,814 solar panels on the roof of the plant No.5 with the aim of reducing CO2 emissions to prevent global warming.

Efforts to Reduce Industrial Waste

Storage for waste toner to be recycled
Storage for waste toner to be recycled

We set a reduction target every year to minimize the amount of industrial waste we generate. Since FY 2013, we have been recycling waste toner (not fit for commercialization) generated during production and have increased the recycling rate to over 80%. We also recycle more than 80% of waste plastics as the plastics raw material by carefully separating them from other waste.

Efforts to Reduce Water Use

We acquire the pure water needed for toner production by treating city water and well water with a pure water system. Since the system only purifies 60% of the water so we used to drain the remaining 40% as wastewater. We installed a wastewater reuse system.
