Realizing a Recycling Society

To use limited resources effectively, our Group promotes
the cyclical use of metals and other resources used in the production of products.

Initiative

Waste Reduction Activities

A large proportion of our industrial waste is generated from surface treatments and processing processes. We have been implementing initiatives such as reduction of plating waste liquids and waste reduction by reusing lubricants and solvents. As environmental laws have been strengthened, we will continue to take meticulous measures for waste reduction by addressing the reduction of plastics and other materials.

Management System for Chemicals Contained in Products

In addition to compliance with international regulations on the use of chemical substances, such as REACH regulations and the RoHS directive, we appropriately manage chemical substances contained in products at each stage of procurement, manufacturing, and shipping, including GADSL and the Chemical Substances Control Law, as requested by our customers. DAIDO METAL’s management of this issue is based on JIS Z 7201 (Management of chemicals in products –
Principles and guidelines), and this information is published internally as well as being used to respond promptly to client requests.

Conserving Water Resources

The use of water is essential in production activities. However, to conserve water resources, we thoroughly manage and reduce our water usage. In addition, we are also working to reduce the impact on the locations where the water is discharged and the risks of drought.

Considering the environment and forest resources by using paper pallets

We are using paper pallets as packaging material for some products. Because paper pallets primarily use waste paper for raw material, they are environmentally friendly, lightweight, easy to handle, highly recyclable, and have a low environmental impact etc. In addition, their light weight means that they also reduce CO2 emissions during transport. Moreover, they are also useful for conserving sustainable forest resources.
