We are also focusing on the development of products that can be recycled while affixed, and other products that can be peeled off cleanly to facilitate the reuse and recycling of the objects they are affixed to. Special Function Paper We are proposing special function paper to meet the demand for alternatives to plastic. We have found some success with major convenience store chains, which are using this paper in boxed lunch containers. We will continue to step up the development of specialty paper offering functionality that has nearly the durability, water resistance, and transparency of plastic film, and promote this paper as a plastic substitute. Window Film Applying this film to entire window surfaces of buildings, automobiles, and railcars significantly cuts the heat energy of sunlight and prevents internal temperatures from rising. Window film improves air conditioning efficiency and con-tributes to power and energy-saving measures. The LINTEC Group is promoting development in Japan and overseas to achieve even higher levels of functionality.Adhesive film for labels that uses 100% recycled PET resin in facestockThick oil- and water-resistant paper that can be used for boxed lunch containersWindow film for buildings52EnvironmentAdhesive materials for adhesive products for labels76%5.25.51.55.11.44.814.213.4 Waste paper Waste plastic Waste oil Sludge OtherRelease agents used in release paper5.06.95.51.64.41.31.55.24.85.315.613.011.159% Reducing the Use of Organic SolventsTo reduce the use of organic solvents, which have a high environ-mental burden, we are advancing the use of solvent-less methods that do not use organic solvents for the coating process of adhe-sives and release agents. In the fiscal year ended March 31, 2022, the solvent-less percentage was 76% for adhesives used in adhe-sive products for labels and 59% for release agents used in release paper. Going forward, we will continue striving to further reduce our environmental burden by expanding the product lineup and sales of solvent-less products. Achieving Zero EmissionsIn the fiscal year ended March 31, 2022, waste generated was 30,800 tons, and waste emitted was 15,600 tons. Of the waste emitted, 11,900 tons were recycled externally, and 3,700 tons were properly disposed of by waste disposal companies. In addition, the final landfill disposal was 160 tons, or 0.51% of waste generated. With a final landfill disposal rate of less than 1.0%, we achieved zero emissions. Developing Environmentally Friendly ProductsIn addition to reducing the environmental burden of production, the LINTEC Group is actively developing environmentally friendly prod-ucts that meet a wide range of needs: reducing the amount of plastic used, reusing materials, recycling, and energy conservation.
