Target for 2003 Achievements in 2003 To increase the rate of waste recycling by 10 points or more from the preceding year 34.5 points increased Generation of wastes in 2003 The amount of waste generated in 2003 was slightly larger than in 2002. However, the resources recycling rate* was comprehensively increased as a result of the thorough implementation of fractional recovery of wastes and the adoption of new recycling processes Quantity of recycled resources * Resources recycling rate = Quantity of generated (Quantity of recycled resources + Volume of permanent disposed of wastes) Generation of wastes in 2003 is broken down below. We will make further endeavors to control of waste generation and implement effective recycling. Resource recycling targets for 2004 To increase the quantity of recycled resources from wastes by 10 points* or more from the preceding year * 10-point increase: To increase quantity of recycled resources from 73.1% (achievement in 2003) --> 83.1% (goal in 2004)
