Chemical Substance Management

Regarding the management of chemical substances, our group promotes the safe management of chemical substances based on compliance with related laws and regulations and our own standards. We are committed to proper management, pollution prevention,and emission reduction in accordance with the types of substances specified by laws and regulations, emission standards for each type and size of emission facility, and local government ordinances.
In compliance with the PRTR system*, we manage the amounts of emissions and transfer of designated substances. Due to reduction measures, both the amounts of emissions and transfer have remained at low levels since FY 3/2022.

・The amount of emissions into the environment is disclosed as the amount of emissions into the atmosphere, as some components of insect repellents are PRTR-listed substances and volatilize during production.
・The amount of transfer is calculated and disclosed by aggregating the amounts of insecticide components and the surfactant and fragrance ingredients from deodorizers and air fresheners that are contained in waste and transported outside the production sites.

*The PRTR system (Pollutant Release and Transfer Register) is a system for collecting, aggregating, and disclosing data related to the sources of potentially harmful chemical substances, their release into the environment, and their transfer outside of the production site as waste.

*The subject organization is S.T. Group (in Japan).
