The OKI Group works actively on reducing waste and recycling. Our waste reduction efforts focus on optimizing purchase quantities, and involve effective use of production management systems and enforcing operation rules. Improving yields at productions sites is a perennial goal, and we are always keen to eliminate waste when using input resources. Unneeded materials generated from production activities are sold as valuables or outsourced for processing by recyclers that can turn them into new resources.
OKI Group's goal is to maintain the overall Material recycling rate (*1)at the 2014 to 2018 level(84%).Our performance in fiscal 2023 was 86%.
