Air Pollution Prevention

Efforts to Reduce Environmental Impact by Introducing Catalysts for Treating Exhaust Gas

We are making efforts to reduce emissions of SOx, NOx, dust, and VOCs to prevent air pollution. We ascertained the emissions of the respective substances, and reduced fuel oil consumption and shifted to natural gas to reduce SOx, installed proprietary De-NOx equipment to reduce NOx, and installed scrubbers to reduce dust. We also use proprietary catalysts for treating exhaust gas to purify unutilized materials and other emissions from our manufacturing processes.
None of our emissions exceed the values we agreed upon with the municipal and prefectural governments.
