ORIX Eco Services to completely use electricity from renewable energy
TOKYO, Japan: ORIX Eco Services Corporation announced that it has switched to use 100% renewable energy at its two plants and operate them as CO2-free plants.
ORIX Eco Services operates two plants, the Funabashi Plant, an intermediate treatment facility for metal-based waste, and the Kasukabe Plant, a manual dismantling and recycling facility for OA and IT equipment. This time, by switching the total amount of electricity used at each factory to electricity derived from non-fossil certificate power supplied by ORIX Corporation, which operates an electricity retail business, the two plants operated by ORIX Eco Services will completely use electricity from renewable energy.
With the increase in environmental awareness in recent years, more and more companies are paying attention to not only their own CO2 emissions but also CO2 reductions in the entire supply chain from raw material procurement to disposal. By completely using electricity from renewable energy of these two factories, ORIX will contribute to reducing CO2 emissions in the customer’s entire supply chain.
ORIX Eco Services will continue to provide customers with solutions for re-use, recycle, and proper process in order to promote a recycling-oriented society that reduces the environmental impact.
