Efficient Use of Finite Water Resources
Efficient use of finite water resources is also targeted.
The 21st century is often called “the century of water,” because the world is suffering various water-related problems such as depletion of water resources and water contamination.
Toshiba Semiconductor Company Group has been making efforts to reduce its consumption of valuable water and to prevent this resource from being contaminated, taking regional characteristics into consideration.
As a measure to reduce water consumption, installation of a waterless PFC gas abatement system, specifically a “PFC abatement system that reduces effluent discharge,” is underway.
Recycling of water has also been realized, resulting in an achievement of 13,000 thousand m3 in volume and 31.0% in recycling rate* in FY 2009.
- Amount of water intake (1000 m3) and amount of water intake per unit of output normalized by deflator index (%)
- (The above data covers all manufacturing sites in Japan and overseas)
- *: Water recycling rate equals required feed water minus water supplied divided by required feed water multiplied by 100 (%). (as defined by JEITA (Japan Electronics and Information Technology Industries Association))
