Efforts to Reduce Waste at the Gosen Plant in FY2020

One of the raw materials, the heat-retaining packaging material, is made of styrofoam, which is bulky and incurs high transportation costs and exhaust gas (CO2) emissions when disposed of. Therefore, we have been conducting an experiment to replace styrofoam with a more environmentally friendly packaging material. As a result, we have confirmed that the new packaging material can maintain the temperature of the raw materials during transportation. We will continue to verify the effectiveness of the new packaging material and promote its introduction.
