Waste Reduction
Zero emissions
The Fujikura Group is conducting activities for zero emissions to reduce the final waste disposal amount (landfill amount) generated from its production activities to zero, believing that this target can be achieved by increasing the production yield (measure of output from a given amount of input calculated in percentage) to reduce waste and also by fostering the recycling of generated waste.
In fiscal 2012, the total release of waste from 25 bases of the Fujikura Group in Japan decreased by 60 tons year on year to 17,337 tons, of which 83 tons (reduced by 41 tons year on year) were sent to landfill sites. As a result the landfill rate dropped by 0.23 points year on year to 0.48%, and we thus achieved the initial zero emissions target, which was to reduce the rate to 0.5% or lower. We will continue to implement measures to reduce the amount of landfill to zero, aiming to achieve perfect zero emissions.
