Origin Electric America Company Ltd.

Global environmental regulations are being strengthened. In Japan, existing regulations include the Law for the Promotion of Utilisation of Recyclable Resources, Recycling Law and "3R." In Europe, regulations have been strengthened by the RoHS Directive, REACH Regulation and WEEE Directive. In the face of stricter environmental regulations, we make sure our manufacturing processes have negligible impact on the environment, that our products are highly environmentally friendly and easily recyclable, and that stable manufacturing and marketing deliver products of ever higher quality. Returning to the starting point of the "origin of technology," we would like to contribute to an affl uent society while at the same time not lose sight of promoting life styles that are in harmony with our global environment. We intend to make "Environmental assessment of products" an even greater theme in our continuing effort to develop technology and products that are friendly to our global environment.
