Achievements in Fiscal 2011
Improvement of Material Recycling Rate (Zero Emission)
The OKI Group has been active in improving its material recycling rate(*1) since 1996. In fiscal 2002, we achieved “zero emission”(*2) at main production sites. In fiscal 2011, the material recycling rate was 99.7%.
Material Recycling Rates of Main Production Sites
- *1:Material recycling rate
quantity of material-recycled resources / (quantity of material-recycled resources + quantity of wastes subject to final disposal) x 100
- *2:Zero emission
defined by the OKI Group as a material recycling rate of 99% or more
Amount of Wastes Subject to Final Disposal
The amount of the general and industrial wastes emitted from the OKI Group's main production sites and subject to final disposal was 19 tons in fiscal 2011 due to the reduction of waste fluids and other efforts.
