Resource Recycling
We maintain a recycling rate of 99% of more of industrial waste and are now at work developing this environmental technology globally.
The NEC Electronics Group began working to reduce waste and promote recycling of resources in 1985, with the entire group(i.e., NEC Electron Devices, an in-house company before its separation from NEC Corporation and its domestic manufacturing subsidiaries) having achieved a recycling rate of 99% or more of industrial waste in September 2000, and have maintained a rate of 99% or more since then.
Our waste reduction and recycling efforts include measures to minimize the generation of waste during the development stage at the upstream stage of the production process, such as green manufacturing processes and assessments. Also included are factory designs intended to minimize waste generated during construction. Waste that remains even after taking these measures is viewed as a "recyclable resource" rather than mere garbage. We examine and verify the possibility of recycling, environmental impact, and safety of recycling operations supported by proven technology, through collaborative efforts with companies from other industries.
These recycling activities are highly recognized by external organizations, such as the Clean Japan Center, and have earned us a number of awards. These include the Chairman's Prize in the Recycling Promotion Conference Awards and the Chairman's Prize in the Resource Recycling Technology Systems Awards. We will develop improvements accomplished in Japan to our overseas subsidiaries as well.
