In addition to the ongoing 3Rs activities (Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle) aimed at generating less waste, we are making efforts to achieve a zero landfill disposal rate* in Japan. These efforts include selecting appropriate disposal firms based on their disposal method (material recycling, thermal recycling, landfilling), and we are also encouraging a switch to recyclable raw materials and finer classification of waste, targeting zero landfill disposal.

In accordance with the Act on Promotion of Resource Circulation for Plastics that came into effect in April 2022, we have developed necessary education and training programs and management systems and set targets for reducing waste generation and promoting recycling. We are also collecting relevant data from LINTEC and its group companies in Japan and disclosing the data in a compiled form.

• ＊Zero landfill disposal rate: LINTEC’s standard is a final landfill disposal rate (= Final landfill disposal amount/Amount of waste generated × 100) of 1% or less.

We are promoting a transition to a circular economy, in which resources are circulated from product production to product use and then to recycling, with product design that limits the generation of waste and pollution from products and production, and the effective use of recycled materials to reduce consumption of new resources.

To reduce marine plastic waste, LINTEC CORPORATION has been a member of CLOMA*, and is making efforts as a corporate citizen to propose and promote environmentally friendly products. Also, in response to the enforcement of the Plastic Resource Circulation Act (Act on Promotion of Resource Circulation for Plastics), we are working on initiatives to reduce the amount of plastic used at the stages of design and manufacturing, reduce the amount discharged, and recycle plastic.

• ＊ CLOMA: Clean Ocean Material Alliance. A public-private collaboration platform hosted by the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry to accelerate innovation aimed at reducing marine plastic waste through promoting the sustainable use of plastic products and developing and applying alternative materials.

• Participation in Japan-Earth Conscious Labeling (J-ECOL) to promote the effective use and recycling of release papers (Japanese version only)

LINTEC promotes sustainable raw material procurement in accordance with the LINTEC Procurement Policy. We confirm the stable supply of raw materials from our partners through questionnaire surveys. We also study and organize information related to the production of raw materials. If an incident occurs, we will promptly identify the raw materials that may be affected and take measures so that procurement of the materials will continue.
