Activities for Energy Saving in Oji Materia Co., Ltd.

Abstract

Oji Group has continued to work on energy saving activities for sustainable production. As for Oji Materia Co., Ltd., we have been targeting over 1.5% reduction per year in total energy consumption since 2002 and achieving good results every year.

Whereas, those activities were approaches separately in each mill, so which was stagnant in some mills in the face of shortage of new items and manpower.

To solve the problems, we organized a Headquarter-centered project team with the cooperation of the engineering consulting firm. And we set objectives to move forward energy saving activities and develop human resources. By these company-wide actions, we have achieved great results.

This paper introduces the above approaches.
