Increase Recycled Materials
Effort Status
By increasing re-use of production waste items in production again, we reduce the consumption of sourced natural resources, and make efforts toward a production activity that builds a recycling society.
Specific examples
Example 1
If jigs/tools for manufacturing Piston Rings (circular) wears and exceeds the standard limit, modify it and re-use for Piston Rings with a large diameter.
By doing this, the number of jigs/tools that are fabricated is reduced.
Example 2
The exhaust air from dust-collecting extractors in the factory is used in power supply for factory lighting which is being changed to LEDs, for effective use of waste energy.
Example 3
By removing impurities from plating solution used in the hard chrome plating process, we recycle aged plating solution (chromic acid) which we used to throw away.
