Reduction ポーカー トランプ おすすめ Materials and Resource Usage
Reducing Usage ポーカー トランプ おすすめ Materials
We are working hard to reduce the amount ポーカー トランプ おすすめ material that becomes waste after being introduced into the manufacturing phase. In addition to reducing and effectively utilizing natural resources, we also pursue the reduction ポーカー トランプ おすすめ energy use, greenhouse gas emissions, and costs from material manufacturing to the processing ポーカー トランプ おすすめ products.See below for information on our efforts for the effective use ポーカー トランプ おすすめ key materials at each site.
• Efforts at JAE
To reduce the amount ポーカー トランプ おすすめ material used in machining, JAE is working to purchase materials in ideal sizes. In order to reduce the volume ポーカー トランプ おすすめ gold used in gold plating in production, JAE is making ongoing efforts to implement efficiency improvements such as the management ポーカー トランプ おすすめ the proper metal plating area and speeding up the process. At the same time, it utilizes reusable parts ポーカー トランプ おすすめ production equipment and pursues the effective use ポーカー トランプ おすすめ resources and the reduction ポーカー トランプ おすすめ material and capital investment costs.
• Efforts at HAE
HAE is focusing on reducing the amount ポーカー トランプ おすすめ materials used by narrowing the metal materials used in presses and pin protection materials. Molding materials are being reduced by reducing unnecessaryspoolers/runners(*use cursor to view definitions) that are discharged when extracting molded products; improving the number, mold shape, and positioning ポーカー トランプ おすすめgates(*use cursor to view definitions) when designing molds; and switching from cold runners to hot runners. This reduces the amount ポーカー トランプ おすすめ molding material used, while using recycled materials promotes continuous reduction in the cost ポーカー トランプ おすすめ newly purchased material inputs and helps to reduce waste material. To reduce the amount ポーカー トランプ おすすめ gold used in gold plating, HAE is constantly making efficiency improvements such as in proper plating area management and speeding up the process.
• Efforts at YAE
Measures are underway for reducing the amount ポーカー トランプ おすすめ materials used and waste generated by downsizing molds and revising the width ポーカー トランプ おすすめ metal materials used in presses. In addition, increasing the rate ポーカー トランプ おすすめ reuse ポーカー トランプ おすすめ molding materials, reducing input materials by promoting closed-loop-recycling ポーカー トランプ おすすめ product waste, and cutting down on the volume ポーカー トランプ おすすめ materials used by makingspoolers/runnersmore compact, result in significant CO2reductions.
• Efforts at FAE
Efforts to improve the reuse rate for copper alloy electrode material used in the manufacturing process for metal parts (discharge machining) are contributing to a reduction in the quantity ポーカー トランプ おすすめ material used and the metal waste generated. It also introduced a special processing machine for cutting the plate material to reduce the margin for grinding, enabling effective use ポーカー トランプ おすすめ materials.
• Efforts at SAE
The SAE site continues to focus on self-production ポーカー トランプ おすすめ machined parts and reducing cutting processes. These efforts contribute to reduced metal waste, as well as lower CO2emissions during material production.
Conservation ポーカー トランプ おすすめ Water Resources
Japan may appear to be a country with abundant water resources, but it is actually said to be the world’s largest importer ポーカー トランプ おすすめvirtual water(*use the cursor to view definition). Around the world, we see explosive population growth as well as drought and other abnormal weather conditions that result in many people being unable to obtain one-tenth ポーカー トランプ おすすめ the daily water that a person requires.In recent years, as with climate change, the public expects that the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and other issues raised by the United Nations in 2015, such as efforts for the sustainable use ポーカー トランプ おすすめ water resources, be considered global issues. We have continued our water resource efforts and communicated them in our 2015 Environmental Report.
2015: Water input volume in sales per unit based on water conservation
2016: Water resource circulation balance was put into a visually readable format at JAE
2017: Water Risk Assessment (using WRI Aqueduct) at JAE compared with CDP, and water resource management goals and PDCA cycle compared with SDGs
2018: Water data survey ポーカー トランプ おすすめ the supply chain Understanding water consumption
Here are reported examples ポーカー トランプ おすすめ reducing water usage and the status and challenges ポーカー トランプ おすすめ new initiatives.
Examples ポーカー トランプ おすすめ Reducing Water Usage
We will present some examples ポーカー トランプ おすすめ activities conducted by the JAE Group in Japan and overseas to reduce water usage through the protection ポーカー トランプ おすすめ forests to conserve water resources, and the cleaning ポーカー トランプ おすすめ rivers and sea coasts. (Items in parentheses are abbreviations ポーカー トランプ おすすめ production site names.)
- Water saving in production: recycling water in the connector product plating line (JAE, HAE, JAE OR), on/ポーカー トランプ おすすめf controls for water usage on each cleaning line, and installing an evaporation prevention cover (JAE OR), and recycling ポーカー トランプ おすすめ water used for machinery and equipment (JAE TW). Also limiting users in processes where large volumes ポーカー トランプ おすすめ water are required for cleaning, and specialized faucets that are opened with keys (JAE WJ).
- Water saving in lifestyle: adjusting water volume used in air conditioning cooling towers, recycling wastewater, using rainwater for toilets (JAE PH), using cooling tower drain water for toilets (JAE PH), changing from buried pipes that supply water for living to above-ground piping for the early detection ポーカー トランプ おすすめ leaks and repair, and raising awareness ポーカー トランプ おすすめ an important resource (JAE PH), and adjusting the water volume discharged from faucets (JAE WX)
- Excluding the increase in fiscal 2018, domestic and overseas water input volume per unit shows the reduction effects ポーカー トランプ おすすめ efforts made to reduce water resource usage, especially at overseas production bases in recent years. (The graph displays water input volume per unit ポーカー トランプ おすすめ sales.)

Supply Chain Development
In 2017, we began to monitor water usage throughout the supply chain pertaining to the procurement ポーカー トランプ おすすめ materials by the JAE Group, aiming to make more effective use ポーカー トランプ おすすめ water resources across the life cycle.
Following last year’s environmental report, we monitored the amount ポーカー トランプ おすすめ water used with the following two methods. This year, as a result ポーカー トランプ おすすめ aggregating and then narrowing down the target to primary suppliers, we were able to obtain nearly the same results in the two survey methods. We will keep improving data accuracy throughout the supply chain, and we are also planning to conduct ongoing surveys to raise awareness ポーカー トランプ おすすめ water as a valuable resource.
Survey method and result summary (target: primary suppliers)
1. As a part ポーカー トランプ おすすめ the environmental quality checks we conduct as we pursue green procurement, water usage volume was included on the check sheet in the survey on actual water usage. The annual usage volume was 3,795 thousand m3.
2. Based on estimates using the “Water Footprint” database released by Tokyo City University, annual water usage was 3,126 thousand m3.
Water Consumption Survey
While considering policies to further reduce water usage, we surveyed consumption in the water circulation cycle at worksites. After surveying the amount ポーカー トランプ おすすめ evaporation from production and air conditioning equipment, the amount ポーカー トランプ おすすめ food and drink consumed at the Company’s welfare facilities, the amount ポーカー トランプ おすすめ watering ポーカー トランプ おすすめ areas ポーカー トランプ おすすめ greenery, and the amount ポーカー トランプ おすすめ evaporation from other facilities, we found that there was a difference between the estimates and meter readings in the amount ポーカー トランプ おすすめ evaporation from the air conditioning cooling towers.
This year, as a result ポーカー トランプ おすすめ adding meters and verifying them, the difference between this year and last year shrunk three to four times (the difference at the reporting stage last year was two to eight times).
Measures to reduce water usage had a major effect on air conditioning equipment, so as an effective measure, we will install meters whenever possible to monitor the amount ポーカー トランプ おすすめ evaporation.
