Labelstocks Using Adhesives Containing Biomass Materials Derived from PlantsWe are contributing to the conservation of fossil resources and the reduction of CO2 emissions with labelstocks that use adhe-sive containing biomass materials, which are organic resources derived from plants. Our lineup meets a wide range of needs. For example, it includes a type that uses recycled PET film in the facestock, an emulsion type that does not use organic solvents during production, and a strong-adhesion type that is suitable for use in low-temperature environments and on uneven surfaces. Window Films that Curb Temperature Increases in Buildings and VehiclesApplying these films onto the entire surfaces of building, automobile, or railcar windows significantly cuts thermal energy from sunlight, which causes heat. Curbing increase in inside temperatures enhances the efficiency of air- conditioning and helps save electricity and energy. Unlike curtains or blinds, these films do not reduce brightness or impede views. Also, they lower ultraviolet light by more than 99% and prevent shattering if the window glass is broken. Labelstocks Using Recycled PET Film for FacestockWe offer labelstocks that use film made from recycled PET resin derived from PET bottles. The facestock films use more than 80% recycled PET resin, the highest level in the industry. At the same time, we have achieved physical properties equiva-lent to those of labelstocks with non-recycled PET film substrates. We have a product lineup that addresses a wide range of applications, such as items with a metallic gloss that conveys a sense of high quality and items using adhesives that can be applied securely and removed cleanly.ESG48LINTEC INTEGRATED REPORT 2019EnvironmentGreen ProcurementThe LINTEC Group is committed to procurement that aims to reduce environmental impact through rigorous chemical substance management for raw materials, parts, and secondary materials. When procuring a new material or responding to a new regulation, we ask for suppliers’ understanding in conducting ingredient examinations to monitor for the presence of regulated substances. In the fiscal year ended March 31, 2019, the Company carried out such examinations on approximately 5,000 items, including materi-als that are procured continuously. Going forward, we will continue working with suppliers to engage in proactive environmental pres-ervation activities and undertake stringent chemical substance management.Environmentally Friendly ProductsThe LINTEC Group has embraced the rise in environmental aware-ness of recent years and is developing products to meet a wide range of environmental needs. Our environmentally friendly prod-uct lineup pays heed to reusing, recycling, and energy saving. In addition, for adhesive products, release papers, and other prod-ucts, we are developing manufacturing processes that do not use organic solvents.
