Achieving zero landfill waste
We are attempting to reduce emissions of waste by recycling waste emitted from factories by taking a thorough approach to separate collection according to type of waste, increasing the life of grease and oil, and, at the Eco center, recycling waste plastics.
Processing quantities of reclamation of waste
Automatic Packaging of Waste (Aisin AI)
The minute particles of the iron powder generated from the manufacturing process pose a danger to workers if inhaled. We therefore automated the packaging process to eliminate this threat, which in turn can be sold as a raw material.
Recycling of Cooking Oil (Sinsan Corporation)
Since May 2008 we have been using 100% bio-diesel fuel (B100) to power the commuter buses that link our head office with Meitetsu Chiryu railway station.
This fuel is created by collecting and refining the cooking oil used for deep fat frying in staff canteens at Aisin Seiki's bases throughout Aichi Prefecture. In the future our intention is to go one step further and recycle oil gathered from the homes of company employees.
Improved Packing
Aisin Seiki have been working towards reducing the volume of packing materials, especially those used for exported items. In fiscal 2006, we worked to reduce the volume of packing materials used by improving the storage capacity of containers, continuing to reduce product weight and reinforcing the strength of products.
