Reducing CO2 Emissions by Switching Energy Types
We are converting from liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) to high-efficiency electricity.
Reducing CO2 Emissions by Updating Lighting Fixtures
We are converting plant and office lighting to LEDs.
Recycling
We turn wastewater sludge into roadbed material.
Example Application of Eco-friendly Products
Using biomass plastic containing 51% plant-derived components for honing stone cases
We use biomass plastic (NEOPLA S-SERIES), which contains 51% plant-derived components such as starch, in cases for replacement honing stones for honing machines.
The biomass plastic uses waste starch that is discharged in large quantities at plants when switching lots.
Biomass plastic is manufactured by Nissin FULFIL CO., LTD. (a group company).
