Activities to Reduce Landfill Waste

The Nabtesco Group is fostering the activities to reduce landfill waste to zero based on the approach of 3Rs (reduce, reuse, recycle)—the basic practice for establishing a resource-circulating society—for all types of emissions generated in the course of our business.

In FY2019, the separation of landfill waste stagnated in the consolidated subsidiaries that became the subject to aggregation beginning with FY2019, resulting in a temporary increase. This year we will continue to promote the 3Rs in order to achieve the Zero Emissions goal of 0%* by FY2020.

The Nabtesco Group landfills metals and waste glass that do not contain hazardous substances.

* Here “zero” means 0.05% or lower

Targets and Results of FY2019

Targets	Results	Status
Zero emissions rate: 0.05% or below	Zero emissions rate: 3.2%	Unachieved

Volume of Waste Generated

Volume of Landfill Waste and Zero Emissions Ratios

* The figure for the Nabtesco Group in FY2015 was calculated with the scope of the survey being the 12 months from January to December 2015.

Breakdown of emissions
Valuable materials	metal, oil, cardboard, etc.
Material recycling	oil, sludge, wood, liquid, plastic, etc.
Thermal recycling	packaging, general waste, plastic, etc.
Incineration	general waste, plastic, etc.
Detoxification	water-soluble oil, alkalis, etc.
Landfill	sludge, plastic, glass

Measures to Reduce Hazardous Waste

The Nabtesco Group implements thoroughgoing waste management, so waste containing hazardous substances is not emitted.

Measures to Reduce Use of Raw Materials

By reusing components and reducing the production of new ones, Nabtesco is working to minimize the use of resources.

We have been fostering the MRO (maintenance, repair, and overhaul) business to optimized the use of resources and expand sales in the service field.
