Reduction of Materials and Resource Usage

テキサスホールデム 確率

Reducing Usage of Materials and Resource Usage

We are working hard to reduce テキサスホールデム 確率mount of 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 of energy use, greenhouse gas emissions, and costs from material manufacturing to the processing of products.
 See below for information on our efforts for the effective use of key materials at each site.

●Efforts at JAE
To reduce テキサスホールデム 確率mount of material used in machining, JAE is working to purchase materials in ideal sizes. In order to reduce the volume of gold used in gold plating in production, JAE is making ongoing efforts to implement efficiency improvements such as the management of the proper metal plating area and its thickness speeding up the process. At the same time, it utilizes reusable parts of production equipment and pursues the effective use of resources and the reduction of material and capital investment costs.

●Efforts at HAE
HAE is reducing テキサスホールデム 確率mount of materials used by reducing the width of metal materials used in presses and reducing pin protection materials. Molding materials are being reduced by downsizing unnecessary spoolers/runners (*use cursor to view definitions) that are discharged when extracting molded products, improving the number, mold shape, and positioning of gates (*use cursor to view definitions) when designing molds, and using hot runners and pulverizing equipment with spoolers/runners. We continue to improve the value ratio by reducing テキサスホールデム 確率mount of newly purchased input materials through the use of recycled materials and by reviewing materials that are subject to value-added disposal, which also helps to reduce waste.
 To reduce テキサスホールデム 確率mount of gold used in gold plating, HAE is constantly making efficiency improvements such as in proper plating area as well as thickness management and speeding up the process. This has led to significant cost reductions. The feed rate has been increased and electricity utilized reduced by overhauling the fixtures and setting terms used in the plating system.

●Efforts at YAE
We are continuously promoting measures to reduce テキサスホールデム 確率mount of materials used by downsizing press molds, revising the width of metal materials used in presses, investigating the material yield, verifying and setting the minimum number of turns for plating, and performing early detection of key sample abnormalities. In addition, increasing the rate of reuse of molding materials, reducing input materials by promoting closed-loop-recycling of product waste, and cutting down on the volume of materials used by making spoolers/runners more compact, result in significant CO2 reductions.

●Efforts at FAE
Efforts to improve the reuse rate for copper alloy electrode material used in the manufacturing process for mold parts (discharge machining) are contributing to a reduction in the quantity of material used, electric power, and the metal waste generated. It also introduced a special processing machine for cutting the plate material テキサスホールデム 確率duce the margin for grinding, enabling effective use of materials.

●Efforts at SAE
The SAE site continues to focus on reducing cutting processes. These efforts contribute テキサスホールデム 確率duced metal waste, as well as lower CO2 emissions during material production.

Conservation of Water Resources

テキサスホールデム 確率テキサスホールデム 確率
Japan may appear to be a country with abundant water resources, but it is actually said to be one of the world’s largest importers of virtual water (*use the cursor to view definition). Around the world, we see explosive population growth aテキサスホールデム 確率ell as drought and other abnormal weather conditions that result in many people being unable to obtain one-tenth of the daily water that a person requires.
 The public expects companies to take initiatives to ensure the sustainable use of water resources. This is seen as a global issue, like others addressed by the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) adopted at the United Nations in 2015. As a responsibility of a manufacturer with a plating line that uses a large amount of water, we have continued テキサスホールデム 確率port our work to preserve water resources since 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
Since 2018: Water data survey of the supply chain/Understanding water consumption

Here are reported examples of reducing water usage and the status and challenges of new initiatives.

Examples of Reducing Water Usage
We will present some examples of activities conducted by the JAE Group in Japan and overseas テキサスホールデム 確率duce water usage through the protection of forests to conserve water resources, and the cleaning of rivers and seacoasts. (Items in parentheses are abbreviations of production site names.)
  • Although the water input volume per unit is gradually decreasing due to テキサスホールデム 確率ctivities shown in the reduction example above, it appears that we need to take further steps to improve both production efficiency and reduction measures to prevent the impact of external turmoil such as deteriorating production efficiency caused by the COVID-19 pandemic that started in fiscal 2020. (The graph displays water input volume per unit of sales.)

Survey on water consumption and water replenishment rate
While considering policies to further reduce water usage, we surveyed consumption in the water circulation cycle at worksites. After surveying テキサスホールデム 確率mount of evaporation from production and air conditioning equipment, テキサスホールデム 確率mount of food and drink consumed at the Company’s welfare facilities, テキサスホールデム 確率mount of watering of areas of greenery, and テキサスホールデム 確率mount of evaporation from other facilities, we found that there was a difference between the estimates and meter readings in テキサスホールデム 確率mount of evaporation from テキサスホールデム 確率ir conditioning cooling towers.
 Just as last year, as a result of checking the water supply, the difference was 5.2 times. A difference of 4 to 7 times, depending on yearly weather conditions, was expected, but the ratio of consumption to input, although gradually declining, has not changed much for the past five years, and is about 13%.
 In addition, the watershed is replenished by the JAE Group’s forests and テキサスホールデム 確率kishima Plant’s rainwater infiltration tanks, and the replenishment rate to consumption has reached an average annual rate of 200%.
 Below are テキサスホールデム 確率nnual estimates of consumption by the domestic Group for the past five years, the breakdown for fiscal 2022, and the replenishment rate.
 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 and reduce テキサスホールデム 確率mount of evaporation.

FY Consumption Estimated evaporation/Measured value* Consumption/Input Replenishment rate
2018 46,269 m3 4.4 14.1 % 144 %
2019 38,894 m3 6.5 13.3 % 295 %
2020 40,916 m3 5.3 12.8 % 211 %
2021 42,970 m3 5.1 12.6 % 165 %
2022 40,377 m3 5.2 12.3 % 191 %
Evaporation from cooling/production 96% (*) Results of a comparison of air conditioning cooling towerテキサスホールデム 確率here actual measurementテキサスホールデム 確率ere available.
Efforts for drinking water/food 3.1%
Watering plants 0.6%
Evaporation from water storage facility 0.3%

Contribution of the JAE Group Forest
Through the planting of Japanese cypress and broadleaf trees in the JAE Group Forest, we estimate that watershed replenishment is approximately 5,320 m3 per year.
