Environmental Report 2012
Reducing Usage of Materials
In an effort to use materials more efficiently, measures that reduce the amount (percentage) that becomes waste after being introduced into the manufacturing stage are being promoted.An introduction to the JAE Group's effortsat at each site to use the main materials effectively is provided below.●JAE, YAE
Measures are underway for reducing the amount of materials used and waste generated by downsizing molds and revising the width of metal materials used in presses.In addition, efforts are being made to reduce the introduction of new materials by reusing recycled mold materials, and this has resulted in a reduction of CO2 emissions.
●HAE
HAE is focusing on reduction of the amount of materials used by reducing the width of metal materials used in presses and pin protection materials. The reduction of molding materials is being achieved by reducing unnecessary spoolers/runners that are discharged when extracting molded products; improving the number gates, mold shape, and positioning when designing molds; and switching from cold runners to hot runners. This reduces the amount of molding material used, while using admixtures reduces the amount of newly purchased material inputs.
●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 dramatic reduction in the quantity of material used and the metal waste generated. Material usage was reduced by 240.3 kg, exceeding the target of 200 kg.
●SAE
Efforts continue to reduce the size of machining material on large machined components. Meanwhile, by expanding the self-manufacture of titanium parts with a high CO2 reduction effect coefficient, the company achieved indirect CO2 reductions of about 15 tons, far exceeding the annual target of 10.7 tons.
