Reducing Waste Materials
FHI is actively committed to reducing waste in all its plants. At the Gunma
Manufacturing Division for development and manufacturing of automobiles,
the Utsunomiya Manufacturing Division for development and manufacturing for
the Aerospace Company and Eco Technologies Company, and the Saitama
Manufacturing Division for development and manufacturing for the Industrial
Products Company, zero emissions have already been achieved. In 2003, zero
emissions was achieved at the Tokyo Offi ce for research and development of
automobiles.
The total amount of materials generated, including scrap metal associated
with production activities in 2003, was 75,917 tons in total for all plants, and the
materials generated were treated as the fi gure below shows. All, excluding six
tons of the landfi lled materials, were recycled. The amount of waste materials
generated (waste materials treated intermediately by external companies
plus waste materials treated directly) was reduced by 32% compared with the
previous year to 182 tons in all plants. The reduction was due to the progress in
the measures for by-product sources and enhancement of recycling. The amount
of waste materials landfi lled has been at the zero level since October 2003.
