Deep-veined maple at the Tatsuno PlantRealization of a Recycling-oriented SocietyIn addition to conventional efforts to reduce the amount of waste generated through continuation of the 3Rs (reduce, reuse and recycle), we are working to improve the efficient use rate of waste by introducing a finer classification of waste, thereby promoting circulation of resources.Circular EconomyTo achieve a sustainable economy and sustainable environments, 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. In response to the April 2022 enforcement of the Plastic Resource Circulation Act, which responds to the issues of marine plastic waste, climate change, and tightened regulations on waste imports in other countries, we will work on initiatives to reduce the amount of plastic used at the stages of design and manufacturing, reduce the amount discharged, and recycle plastic.Initiatives to Preserve BiodiversityUpholding 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.The Tatsuno Plant in Japan maintains and monitors conservation-listed deep-veined maple trees and uses red robin trees for greening purposes. The Chiba Plant covered the west wall of its warehouse with a green curtain in June 2022 for the first time. Vines were seen to grow over four meters in length, as shown in the photo taken in August. We will continue to promote these activities that are close to us.For more detailed information, please visit our Sustainability website.LINTEC Environmental ReportSearchGreen curtain at the Chiba PlantEfforts for Zero Emissions*We make efforts to achieve a zero landfill disposal rate, including identifying the disposal method of each disposal firm (material recycling, thermal recycling, landfilling) and searching for firms capable of their effective use, switching to recyclable raw materials, and fine classification of waste.Environment Performance Data in Fiscal 2022Waste generated27,300 tonsWaste externally disposed of11,800 tons Flow of waste (FY2022)Organizations covered: LINTEC CORPORATION (Head Office, 10 production sites, and Research Center) and TOKYO LINTEC KAKO, INC.
