More than 80 percentage of LINTEC’s total water usage is attributable to the Kumagaya and Mishima plants, which comprise the company’s Fine & Paper Products Operations. These plants are making continued efforts to reduce water usage and effluent discharge in each process and are setting targets accordingly.
Moreover, plants that have paper machines are regulated by the Water Pollution Prevention Act. Additionally, the Mishima Plant, sited alongside the Akanoi river in Ehime Prefecture, is regulated by the Act on Special Measures for Conservation of the Environment of the Seto Inland Sea (Seto Inland Sea Act), while the Kumagaya Plant, situated next to the Arakawa river in Saitama Prefecture, is regulated by the Saitama Prefectural Ordinance for Environmental Preservation. Both satisfy effluent standards in their region.

Upholding biodiversity conservation in the LINTEC Group Quality, Environmental and Business Continuity Policy, the LINTEC Group accordingly conducts biodiversity conservation activities in and outside of Japan.
At domestic production plants, we are implementing the LEAP approach (Locate / Evaluate / Assess / Prepare).
We evaluate impacts and dependencies, and are implementing initiatives aimed at achieving nature-positive plants by combining three perspectives: (1) efforts to reduce negative impacts on biodiversity, (2) efforts to increase positive impacts on biodiversity through nature regeneration and restoration, and (3) collaboration with local communities in promoting these activities.
