In fiscal 2013, the Group’s total wasteemission volume decreased 500 tons, or 2%, from fiscal 2012.We continue to pursue zero emissions through such efforts asrecycling waste sand into cement raw materials, which webegan outsourcing in 2010.33,600t’07 ’08 ’09 ’10 ’11 ’12 ’13(t) (%)(FY)07,50015,00022,50030,00037,50045,0009698909294100Waste Generated in Fiscal 2013(primary operations in Japan)Fiscal 2013 Volume of Waste Generated andRecycling Ratio (major operations in Japan)Change in Total Volume of Waste Generated andRecycling Ratio (major operations in Japan)Since fiscal 2007, we eliminated direct landfill disposal completely.Friction materials2,600t 9%Sludge 800t 3%Oil waste andwaste fluid3,200t 11%Waste plastic 300t 1%Paper, wood and cardboard 100t 0%Others 300t 1%Metal18,900t63%VolumegeneratedSlag 30,000t3,800t13%Reused within production process 400t 1%Direct landfill disposal 0t 0%Recycled usingalternative method9,800t 33%Resources of value 18,900t 63%Thermally recycled 900t 3%Volume generated30,000t1.
