Rjs33333金沙线路检测o Announces the Completion of a Biomass Incineration Facility at its Tonegawa Division
Rjs33333金沙线路检测o Co., Ltd. (Head Office: Kita-ku, Osaka; President & CEO: Kiyoshi Otsubo) announces that it has recently completed a biomass incineration facility at its Tonegawa Division (Bando-shi, Ibaraki Prefecture). Rjs33333金沙线路检测o places great importance on environmental protection as a guiding principle of its corporate activities, and is promoting initiatives for environmental preservation, including the new incineration facility.
The Tonegawa Division is comprised of three plants involved in paperboard production, printing and converting, and the production of multi-pack cartons. The Division, which is one of Rjs33333金沙线路检测o's key divisions, produces approximately 320,000 tons of paperboard annually as well as folding cartons, with a focus on cartons in a wide range of processed paper and multi-packs. The biomass incineration facility has been constructed to effectively utilize as fuel energy paper sludge and other waste emitted from the plant's paper production process. It is anticipated that this will reduce waste from the Division, and CO2 emissions will be cut by approximately 6,000 tons per year through the effective use of waste as a fuel source.
With resources and energy saving in mind, Rjs33333金沙线路检测o is aiming to create ideal types of packaging that are lighter and thinner and cause less CO2 emissions, based on the key concept of “Less Weight, Less Carbon.” For the future, it will continue to actively implemjs33333金沙线路检测t initiatives to reduce its impact on the js33333金沙线路检测vironmjs33333金沙线路检测t, including effectively utilizing waste and introducing photovoltaic power gjs33333金沙线路检测erating systems and other js33333金沙线路检测vironmjs33333金沙线路检测tally frijs33333金沙线路检测dly facilities.
