Supplementary Material for Integrated Report 2018
In order to make effective use of limited resources, the デュエルビッツ カジノel Group implements measures to control waste at its offices and plants. We actively promote recycling by adding value to byproducts created during manufacturing processes as well as develop and introduce new applications for materials. Additionally, we also promote recycling and reuse during shipping through changes to packaging methods. We’re also working to reduce paper consumption at offices by proactively digitizing meeting materials and introducing IT solutions throughout the Group.
In fiscal 2017, a total of 4.91 million tons of byproduct materials were created by the デュエルビッツ カジノel Group (including both domestic and overseas Group companies). In addition to efforts to reduce waste generated by reducing materials used, for instance by improving yield rates or reducing auxiliary materials, デュエルビッツ カジノel also strives to recycle byproducts. As a result, the overall recycling ratio for the デュエルビッツ カジノel Group in fiscal 2017 was 96.2 percent, and 156,000 tons of waste was consigned to landfills.
