Nature and Art – harmonious coexistence between nature and mankind

NAMICS cares about the environment

Environmentally-friendly product development

Our idea at NAMICS is to be kind to people and the planet through the products we provide. Our lead-free products, durable products to reduce waste and RoHS-compliant products which do not use hazardous substances bear witness to our constant attention to the voice of people and the planet.
Development Approach

“Green” Purchasing

In order to provide environmentally-friendly products, we have established “green” purchasing standards in an effort to select supplies, including raw materials used in production, container and packaging materials and purchased articles, which have a low environmental impact.
In selecting materials, we have added “environment” to the traditional criteria of “quality, price and supply stability,” and our decisions are based on a global consideration of all four.

Plant facilities which preserve blue skies and clean waterfronts

Waste Water Treatment Facility
(Head Office Plant)

NAMICS’ waste water flows through the Agano River to the Japan Sea. Waste water from our plant is purified in our waste water treatment facility, and we make every effort to prevent contamination of water quality in public lakes and rivers by strictly adhering to laws and regulations.
In addition, we also regularly measure Sulfur Oxide, Nitrogen Oxide and soot density at plant outlets which emit fumes in order to prevent air pollution.

Energy-saving facilities to make optimum use of important resources

We have introduced co-generation and installed solar panels in order to make the most efficient use of important global resources.
