OUR
INITIATIVES

Rengo's products are used in many aspects of daily life. Precisely because we are such a familiar presence, we believe it is essential to be a company that is considerate of the environment. Accordingly, the entire Group is addressing environmental challenges. Here, we introduce our main initiatives, categorized under Decarbonization, Resource Circulation, and Biodiversity.

Decarbonization- Addressing Climate Change -

Reducing greenhouse gas emissions

We are advancing a wide range of initiatives, including fuel conversion, with the aim of reducing greenhouse gas emissions (Scope 1 + 2) by 46 percent by 2030 compared with FY2013 levels.

Transition to energy with lower environmental impact

By switching fuels used at our plants to renewable energy and fuels with lower greenhouse gas emissions, we are working to reduce emissions.

Coal use in 2027:

0

zero

Visualizing CO2 emissions per product through CFP

To promote low carbon packaging, we are calculating the carbon footprint (CFP) for various Rengo Group products, including corrugated board, paperboard, and plastic packaging.

Resource Circulation- Expanding the Circular Economy -

Corrugated board is reborn as corrugated board

Corrugated board is mainly made from recovered paper, and through recycling it can be reborn as corrugated board repeatedly. We are also advancing initiatives to further increase the recovered paper utilization rate.

Recovered paper utilization rate in paperboard production:

98.6%

Driving plastic resource circulation

Across the Group, we are building systems for plastic resource circulation and focusing on the development of products and technologies that make recycling easier.

Responsible use of forest resources

We procure raw materials from sustainably managed forests, recycled resources, and other controlled sources.

*FSC®C119241, FSC®C126809

FSC® certified plant ratio:

100%

Responsible use of water resources

Water used in manufacturing processes is treated through wastewater processing and reused to reduce water consumption.

Biodiversity- Conserving Natural Capital -

Protecting habitats through biotopes

At the Fukushima-Yabuki Plant (Fukushima Prefecture) and the Takefu Plant (Fukui Prefecture), we have established biotopes within plant premises where a wide variety of living organisms can inhabit, protecting and nurturing local ecosystems.

Addressing ocean-related issues

By combining the packaging technologies we have cultivated to date with future research and development, we are taking on the challenge of solving issues related to the oceans.

Preventing pollution

We implement measures to prevent environmental pollution in our business activities and collect and manage data related to air, soil, and water quality.

Other Initiatives

Development of environmentally friendly products

We are advancing the development of products that utilize biodegradable cellulose, as well as plastic packaging products that are easy to recycle.

Passing on to the next generation

Mainly targeting elementary school students, we conduct outreach classes titled 'Corrugated Board Fun Classroom,' centered on the message that corrugated board is recyclable and not waste as a gateway to environmental education.
