We are making various efforts to reduce the burden on the environment. These efforts include that we have achieved stable water treatment by employing a new method that combines the chemical treatment using recycled water and the biological treatment, and that we have established and implemented some voluntary standards that are stricter than the law.
We have succeeded in further improving the quality of effluent water and reducing discharged sludge. This has been achieved by the fact that we have introduced a new drainage facility called a membrane separation activated sludge system.

We donated the plastic containers that we used in production to nearby facilities such as nursery schools, where they have been using those containers as planters. We are also promoting 3R activities by actively separating waste.
