Co-existence with Nature

The LINTEC Group engages in activities to promote co-existence with nature (reducing impacts on the natural environment), such as those for conserving water resources and biodiversity.

Water Usage and Discharge

A large 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 prevent water leaks and 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.

Biodiversity Conservation Initiatives

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.
