Toyo Morton, Ltd. of the Toyo Ink Group ( President and Representative Director Yuichi Kobayashi, Chuo-ku, Tokyo) announced that in April 22, by using FIT non-fossil fuel certificates with tracking, laminating adhesivesThe entire amount of electricity used at the Saitama Plant (Hiki District, Saitama Prefecture), where manufacturing and development is carried out, has been switched to electricity derived from renewable energy.

This initiative marks the first time that renewable energy has been introduced at our group's domestic production base. As a result, approximately 1,374 MWh per year (2021 results, equivalent to approximately 609 tons of CO ₂ emissions per year*) at Toyo-Morton Saitama Factory will be switched to renewable energy electricity, which will account for approximately 70% of the CO ₂ emitted from the factory. will be reduced. The renewable electricity that will be introduced this time will be compliant with RE100, an initiative by companies that aims to procure 100% renewable energy for their business use.
We will continue to strive to reduce energy consumption by improving production processes and updating to more efficient equipment, and propose ways to reduce CO ₂ emissions throughout the product lifecycle by developing environmentally-friendly products. We will continue to.

Calculation formula: CO ₂ emissions = TEPCO Energy Partner, Inc. Adjusted emission coefficient (2021) 0.452kg - CO ₂ /kWh x Electricity consumption kWh
