Reduction in CO₂ emissions

• We promote the use of renewable energy by introducing solar power generation equipment to Nitto’s plants and group companies.
• We invest to save energy for air-conditioning and install LED lights, and implement actively including the promotion of energy conservation at the production process, electrification in the production process, and to zero for elimination of CO₂ emitted while combusting solvent gases at the production.
• In order to reduce a large amount of CO₂ emissions generated by combusting solvent gases, we are introducing solvent recovery systems. Recovery of solvents not only helps us to curb CO₂ emissions but also put resources to efficient use.

Solvent Recovery equipment at the Toyohashi Plant

• At the Toyohashi Plant’s Recycling Promotion Center, we process plastic waste from our manufacturing process into pellets, which are recycled into roll cores and trays and more, to promote resource circulation within the company.
• Using water resources efficiently, or as a measure to minimize the impact on business activities even if water supply is restricted due to bad weather etc. we effort recycling wastewater by combining technologies for evaporative concentration and volume reduction with our proprietary reverse osmosis (RO) membrane.

To minimize the impact on the work environment and the environment surrounding our plants, we are making efforts to reduce emissions of organic solvents and hazardous substances.

Nitto Denko (Shanghai Songjiang) Co., Ltd. uses multiple methods to treat solvent emissions.
