Environmental Activities
On one hand, the TOSHIBA TEC Group minimizes extraction from global resources, and emissions of pollutants into the global environment. On the other hand, the Group maximizes environmentally conscious activities such as the development of environmentally conscious products or ECPs. In addition, the Group strives to reduce environmental impacts while understanding and analyzing the impacts at each stage of a product life cycle.
Environmental Activities at the TOSHIBA TEC Group
Environmental Impacts throughout the Life Cycle
In terms of the TOSHIBA TEC Group's products, raw materials and components are procured from suppliers, processed and assembled to build products. Finished products are transported to distributors or warehouses by outsourced forwarding agents.
Then, end-of-use products are collected from customers where possible for reuse or recycling.
The diagram below shows environmental impacts at each stage of a product life cycle.
The environmental impacts at the production stage contain 9,769 tons of CO2 emitted from plants and 2,543 tons of CO2 emitted from offices due to the consumption of all energies.
35 tons of chemical substances were discharged into air and water, 1.09 tons of waste were landfilled and 1,705 tons of discharge were recycled.
The amount of CO2 emitted from major products, which were shipped in fiscal 2010, until the end of their product lives is approximately 93,487 tons.
Therefore, it is essential to take energy-saving measures for products.
