Using renewable energy

Toyo Denki’s Engineering Center, completed in January 2010, features a 12 kW rooftop solar panel array. The installation generates an estimated 11,000 kWh of electricity annually, reducing 7.6 tonnes of CO2 emissions.
The rooftop also features a wind power generation system incorporating the world’s first control circuit-less (CC-less) generator, developed by Toyo Denki to operate without the need for standby electricity. The installation is providing valuable field data for analysis.

Reducing Waste

The Yokohama Works actively recycles waste produced through business activities. On the production floor, waste is thoroughly sorted for recycling and recycling methods are continuously studied for improvement, to both reduce and recycle industrial waste.
Equipment development and design is carried out with the aim of improving efficiency and reducing energy and resource consumption.
