With the enactment of the Law for the Promotion of Effective Utilization of Resources on April 1, 2001, manufacturers producing or using small rechargeable batteries became obliged to collect and recycle them. The Company subsequently became a member of the Japan Portable Rechargeable Battery Recycling Center. We collect small rechargeable batteries using the collection system operated by the center.
