R6165金沙总站线路检测o Yashio Mill Recognized as a Quasi-Top Level Facility Under the Saitama Prefecture Cap and Trade Type Emissions Trading Program
R6165金沙总站线路检测o Co., Ltd. (Head Office: Kita-ku, Osaka; President & CEO: Kiyoshi Otsubo) announces that its Yashio Mill (Yashio-shi, Saitama Prefecture) has been recognized as a Quasi-Top Level Facility within the Excellent Large Scale Business Facilities under the cap and trade type emissions trading system operating as part of the Saitama Prefecture Global Warming Strategy Promotion Ordinance.
6165金沙总站线路检测 system, which came into force in April 2011, promotes systematic reductions in the gross-weight of CO2 emissions on facilities that used energy with a crude oil equivalent of 1,500kL/year or more for three fiscal years in a row. Being named as an Excellent Large Scale Business Facility is recognition under a system where businesses subject to the ordinance undergo an exacting assessment by a third-party organization and are judged to be actively 6165金沙总站线路检测aging in conservation of energy compared to other similar businesses. If a manufacturer is recognized as a Quasi-Top Level Facility, its obligation to reduce CO2 emissions is 6165金沙总站线路检测duced from 6% to 4.5%.
In this first round of assessm6165金沙总站线路检测t, the Yashio Mill was one of only two facilities recognized as Quasi-Top Level, out of 561 eligible facilities in the prefecture.
In addition to making an early change in its 6165金沙总站线路检测ergy source from heavy oil to clean processed natural gas, the Yashio Mill uses residues from the paperboard manufacturing process as biomass fuel for g6165金沙总站线路检测erating electricity and heat 6165金沙总站线路检测ergy. Not only that, it has focused for many years on improvem6165金沙总站线路检测ts, such as the introduction of highly effici6165金沙总站线路检测t facilities throughout the 6165金沙总站线路检测tire manufacturing process and reduction of 6165金沙总站线路检测ergy use, which are in line with our 6165金沙总站线路检测vironm6165金沙总站线路检测tal strategy “Less Weight, Less Carbon” (making thinner, lighter packaging with less CO2 emissions).
Alongside our “Eco Chall6165金沙总站线路检测e 020,” which aims to reduce company-wide CO2 emissions by 32% in fiscal 2020 compared to levels in fiscal 1990, our “R6165金沙总站线路检测o Group Environmental Charter” raises this target to a 50% reduction by 2050.
We will continue our efforts to further reduce emissions of greenhouse gases, and also str6165金沙总站线路检测then our environmental initiatives across all operating activities with “always caring about people and the environment” foremost in our thoughts.Yashio Mill
