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.
Also, when emitting industrial waste, we issue an industrial waste management manifest based on the Act on Waste Management and Public Cleaning to monitor and manage whether the waste is treated appropriately.
Waste Amount and Recycling Rate
Locations covered: Tokyo Seimitsu Co., Ltd. Hachioji Plant, Hanno Plant (from July 2023), and Tsuchiura Plant
The newly completed Hanno Plant is counted as one of the Company plants.
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. We have replaced documents such as purchase orders and drawings with electronic data through the electronic transaction system (ACCRETECH Web-EDI System), which was launched into operation in December 2023. The individual departments of the plants have become increasingly paperless, reducing paper consumption by approx. 9,200 kg in fiscal 2024 compared to the previous year.
Resource (Paper) Purchasing Volume
Locations covered: Tokyo Seimitsu Co., Ltd. Hachioji Plant, Hanno Plant (from July 2023), Tsuchiura Plant, and Furudono Plant (from October 2023)
The results for fiscal 2024 include data of the Hanno Plant, which has been newly completed, and the Furudono Plant, to which some business operations have been transferred from Accretech Powertro System Co., Ltd.
