3. Achieving Zero Emissions

Reduction of Environmental Audit Incineration Waste and Waste Plastic

Our goal to Achieve zero emissions* ¹ at a waste recycling ratio of 99% or more (excluding cafeteria scraps and human waste) within three years was realized at the end of March 2007 with a recycling ratio of 99.3%, two years after beginning in April 2005. We were able to achieve zero emissions one year ahead of schedule as a result of all employees promoting the sorting, decomposition, separation, and recycling of waste. The zero emissions activities to reduce the environmental burden will continue in the future.

*1: Zero Emissions: The concept of integrated industries in which the goal is to form a resource-recycling
society through the recycling of waste that was exhausted from an industry as raw material by another
industry to achieve zero waste.
