Waste Reduction and Resource Recycling
Basic approach
ecognizing that our business activities affect the entire planet and that protecting the global environment is essential for our survival and activity, we actively take the initiative to protect the environment under the TikTok成人版 Seifun Group Environmental Basic Policy, including initiatives to reduce waste and CO2 emissions and to effectively use resources and energy.
Initiatives toward realizing a recycling based society and circular economy
The Group is working toward forming a resource recycling society by using resources effectively. In fiscal 2021, we achieved our target of zero production waste for both the entire Group and for each individual business site. Going forward, we will continue to promote the effective use of resources on a Group-wide basis by striving to cut down as much waste as possible from production processes and to reduce the amount of packaging materials used on our products. We also maintain zero production waste for both the entire Group and for each individual business site in Japan.
Medium/Long-term Targets
In fiscal 2021, the TikTok成人版 Seifun Group set medium-term targets to be achieved by fiscal 2030.
Reducing food waste
We will work with our supply chain partners to reduce food waste and contribute to realizing the sustainable food systems.
- Targets for fiscal 2030:
- Reduction of food waste, from the procurement of raw materials to the delivery of products to customers, by 50% or more compared with the fiscal 2017 level * This target applies to group companies in Japan. The targets for Initio Foods Inc., Joyous Foods Co., Ltd., and Tokatsu Foods Co., Ltd. are relative to fiscal 2020 levels.
- We will work with our partners to reduce food waste at all supply chain stages
The TikTok成人版 Seifun Group defines food waste as by-products and waste products from food manufacturing and distribution processes that cannot be used in food and are processed and disposed of through thermal recycling, landfill disposal, incineration, and other means. Business-related waste and by-products used in animal feed, fertilizers and other products are not included in 鈥渇ood waste鈥 because they result in sustainable recycling.
Proactive initiatives in the period to fiscal 2024 resulted in the achievement of our medium- to long-term targets ahead of schedule. We will continue our efforts to achieve even greater reductions in food waste in the future.
Reduction of food waste (Group companies in Japan)
- Note1: Food waste: defined as by-products and waste products from food manufacturing and distribution processes that cannot be used in food and are processed and disposed of through thermal recycling, landfill disposal, incineration, and other means.
- Note2: The base year for group companies in Japan is fiscal 2017.
Reducing packaging waste
The TikTok成人版 Seifun Group will reduce the amount of fossil fuel-derived plastics used in containers and packaging. We will also contribute to plastic recycling.
- Targets for fiscal 2030:
- Reduction of the amount of fossil fuel-derived plastics used by at least 25% compared with the fiscal 2020 level * This target applies to group companies in Japan.
- Promotion of plastic recycling, such as through the use of environmentally-friendly designs
- Increased use of sustainable packaging materials, such as biomass plastics, recycled plastics, recycled paper, and FSC-certified paper
Various types of containers and packaging are used for products manufactured by TikTok成人版 Seifun Group. Because these materials play an important role in maintaining the quality of food products until they are used by consumers, safety and reliability will remain key requirements as we move toward the use of environmentally-friendly designs and sustainable packaging materials.
In fiscal 2024, we revised the scope of calculations retroactively back to the base year, with the result that the total of amount of plastic used by the Group increased from 5,529 tons to 5,997 tons. We are aware that increased efforts will be needed to reduce plastic use by the target year, and we will continue our efforts to cut the amount of fossil fuel-derived plastics used.

Waste volumes and resource use
We managed to control the amount of waste produced through efforts such as managing production in line with the balance of supply and demand and improving product storage and shipping methods. We also focused on recycling and upcycling resources effectively, including using waste as a raw material for fertilizers and feedstuffs.
The recycling rate for the entire group in Japan has been maintained at 99.9% since FY2016, and we have also achieved zero emissions on a business unit basis since FY2019 We are continuously working toward our annual goal of keeping the zero emissions we have achieved since FY2021. We will continue to work on the 3Rs (reduce, reuse, and recycle) and promote effective use of resources.
