Wastes and Valuables

	Results		Target
	Global	(Japan)	Target
Recycled amount [t]	69,164	31,214	Recycling rate Global: 99.0% or more
Final disposal amount [t]	453	65
Recycling rate*⁴ [%]	99.3%	99.8%

*4 Recycling rate = (Recycled amount) / (Recycled amount + Final disposal amount)
We achieved the target of recycling rate by promoting effective use of resources.

* Above data on this report are rounded off to integers (recycling rates are rounded second decimal place).
