Resources Recycling Initiatives

We promote resources recycling initiatives with a focus on reducing the amount of landfill waste.

Reduction of Landfill Waste

The Group’s targets (KPIs) for FY2030

By FY2030, improve the landfill waste volume per sales unit by 20% compared to FY2018

We are working to reduce landfill waste volume through such efforts as reusing and recycling waste. We are moving forward with proactive efforts to reduce landfill waste volume at Teijin Automotive Technologies NA Holdings Corp, which generates a particularly large volume of waste, including reducing the volume of plastic waste by improving the yield rate at each of Teijin Automotive Technologies NA Holdings Corp factories.

In FY2022, our landfill waste volume increased 29% compared with the previous fiscal year, to 22.9 thousand tons, due to the ongoing launches of new programs for automotive composites. This result represented a worsening of 17% in per sales unit compared with the previous fiscal year.

Trends in landfill waste volume and volume per sales unit

  • *Landfill waste volume is calculated based on the amount of waste disposed of directly in landfills.
  • *Per sales units are calculated using consolidated net sales as the denominator.
