Activities to Reduce Environmental Impacts

Effective use of resources and waste reduction

Fujitsu Laboratories is actively engaging in reducing the waste that goes into landfills by limiting the types of waste generated from research and development activities and making effective use of such waste, with a view toward resource conservation.

• Efforts to reduce waste generation
  
  In all areas, we promote electronic conference system expansion other than promotion of the backing paper use of computerization and the OA paper of various documents from 2006 and wrestle in paper consumption and reduction of the paper garbage.
  
• Recycling efforts
  
  At the three areas, waste is collected and separated in accordance with the waste category and collection rules. Waste is classified as either non-recyclables or recyclables. Some recyclables, for examples, are paper, cans, and bottles. Separate collection boxes for each type of waste are placed at specific workplace locations, such as a recycling corner. The used office supplies and furniture are reused at other workplace, and promoting effective utilization of our assets.
  In the case of non-recyclables, efforts are being made to reuse the sludge from treated wastewater into a roadbed material, convert the raw-garbage from kitchen into fertilizer, recycle air-conditioner filters, magnetic tapes, and other such materials, distill and recycle different types of organic waste oils, neutralize waste acids and alkalis, and convert waste oil into combustion improvers.
• Sustainning of zero-emission (Atsugi Area)
  
  At Atsugi facility, we have achieved zero-emission in Oct, 2002 by waste utilization such as composting of organic waste from the cafeteria and recycling various waste from research work as raw materials for steel and cement manufacturing. In the end of 2002, we succeeded in realizing and sustainning zero-emission at other locations as well.
