Energy data Electricity consumption: 850,536 kWh/year Fuel consumption: 0

*The fuel consumption values have been obtained by converting the consumptions of heavy oil, kerosene and fuel gas into the equivalent consumption of petroleum. For this purpose, the conversion coefficient for plants in Japan and overseas is the one mentioned in the regular report per "Law Concerning the Rational Use of Energy in Japan".

Waste volume data Total waste released: 8 t/year Annual mean recycling ratio: 100%

*"Recycling ratio" refers to a ratio of waste (including salable waste) sold or recycled to the total amount released (other than a waste that appears not to be coped with by the efforts of Murata).

Water quality data The management level is strictly enough to meet the target level.

* N.D.: not greater than minimum limit of determination (Not Detected) *Target levels are taken from the strictest values stipulated by laws, Fukui Prefecture regulations and agreements with Fukui city . * Water quality data are the values measured at the final discharge point.

Air quality data There is not release into air subject to monitoring, and no measurement is performed for this purpose.

Amount released or transported of substances to be subjected to PRTR Any substance to be subjected to PRTR is used in an amount that necessitates registration.
