Basic Policies
OMRON has collected, dismantled and disassembled OMRON products that are no longer used by customers, so as to promote recycling by recovering raw materials or reusing products.
Since fiscal 2007, OMRON has promoted the implementation of its system for recycling railway station systems such as automated ticket gates and vendors. This system was first launched for the Tokyo area, followed by the Kansai region in fiscal 2010. OMRON will strive to expand recycling of its products, aiming at a 100% assessment of recycling data.
FY2010 Overview
recycling system for
automated ticket vendors
In fiscal 2007, OMRON built a new recycling system for automated ticket vendors and passenger gates in the Tokyo area. Since then, efforts have been concentrated on fully establishing the system. With this system, OMRON collects end-of-life products as trade-in articles and stores them, and judges whether they should be discarded as waste or sold as usable resources. The collected products are then disassembled at disposal subcontractors before being sent to thermal recycling, which recovers thermal energy emitted when metal materials are recovered or waste materials are incinerated.
In fiscal 2010, the recycling system was expanded to cover the Kansai region as well. To make sure that the amount of resources input does not exceed the designed amount by assessing the amount of recycled resources, OMRON changed disposal subcontractors to those that can assess recycled quantity data for each material in both Tokyo and Kansai regions.
In the years ahead, OMRON will concentrate on the permeation and improvement of its recycling system.
