Waste Material Reductions and Proper Processing
In FY 2012, the amount of waste we generated (general waste and industrial waste) was 32,000 tons, increased by 31% compared with the previous fiscal year. Since FY 2007, we have been managing waste generation in terms of how much waste is generated per unit of actual sales, in the same way as CO₂ emissions. This system was introduced to improve resource productivity. In FY 2012, we generated 23% less waste per unit of actual sales than in FY 2006.
We also maintained our target of zero waste emissions for the NEC Group. This was achieved by conducting regular inspections of our waste disposal subcontractors to ensure that waste was being disposed and offering advice to improve the overall level of recycling.

Sorting and Collecting Trash
Activities for Sorting and Collecting Trash
Rules for sorting trash differ from one local government to another. NEC is thorough in providing training on sorting trash in new employee training when new employees are assigned to business operations to ensure trash is collected appropriately. Posters explaining the rules for sorting trash in an easy-to-understand manner are posted in trash collection stations so that each employee can sort trash properly.
