Sustainability

Compared with petroleum, LNG(Liquefied Natural Gas) generates less CO2 and NOx(nitrogen oxide), and generates no SOx(sulphur oxide) and soot dust. We are making maximum efforts to reduce harmful emissions by changing the heat source to LNG, and to improve energy efficiency by installing up-to-date equipments.

A device called RTO treats the VOC emissions (volatile organic compound emissions) that are discharged in the drying process of Mipox Film. Once treated in RTO’s burning process, the gas becomes free of harmful substances. Our facilities utilize the waste heat from the RTO burning process as the source to heat a boiler. With RTO, Mipox Plants meet VOC Emission regulations under the Air Pollution Control Act.

As a specific initiative to reduce environmental impact and promote sustainable management, the company has been installing solar power generation equipment.
The Hokuto Plant began operation in March 2001, and in March 2023, additional equipment was added to the plant roof and panel racks. The Fukuyama Plant also installed it in March 2024.
By utilizing renewable energy, we will reduce electricity costs and CO2 emissions, and promote environmentally friendly management over the long term.
