Background of Materiality Assessment and Basic Approach to Circularity

Recycling and reusing our limited natural resources to minimize waste reduces the burden on the environment and supports sustainable economic growth. PHC Group has set goals for waste recycling. We are working to achieve these goals in order to contribute to a more sustainable society.

Percentage of Total Waste Recycled at Production Sites / Labs

Reducing waste at production sites also reduces the risk of environmental pollution from waste containing any hazardous substances.
By simultaneously expanding our business and increasing the proportion of waste that is recycled in manufacturing activities, we aim to balance efficient resource utilization, economic growth, and preservation of the environment.
Promoting the recycling of waste at production sites, and adopting more environmentally-friendly technologies and production methods helps us reduce the amount of waste generated. This will reduce the environmental impact caused by our production sites and consumers, including our customers.
By implementing these measures, we will reduce the amount of waste generated at our production sites by promoting waste recycling, thereby helping to protect the global environment.

Percentage Recycled Content in Plastic Packaging Materials

By simultaneously expanding our business and increasing the proportion of recycled plastic in packaging materials, we will seek to balance economic growth with the efficient use of petroleum resources used as raw materials for plastics.
Increasing the proportion of recycled plastics in packaging materials allows for less wasteful use of resources, and leads to adopting environmentally-friendly technologies and production methods.
By implementing these measures, we will strive to reduce the amount of waste generated and protect the environment by promoting the recycling and reuse of plastics.
