Kamifukuoka Bussan environmental programs
In 2006, we invested approximately 50 million yen to introduce a wastewater treatment system.
This system cleans the large volume of dirty water that is produced when washing vegetables, such as when washing potatoes or burdock root to remove scum, improving the surrounding environment.
In order to save energy and preserve the global environment, we are planning to gradually change the lights at the company to LEDs beginning from 2012.
