Waste Reduction Initiatives at Manufacturing Sites

We are conscious of food loss in our business operations. The Mizkan Group has been proactively implementing a range of reduction initiatives across the entire supply chain—from raw material procuring to manufacturing, processing, and product sales.

Food loss reduction in manufacturing process

We are reducing waste by upcycling pressed moromi (brewing mash) as livestock feed and utilizing filtered residues as fertilizer, effectively repurposing byproducts of vinegar production.

To reduce process loss, we are visualizing losses in the manufacturing process and standardizing production management.

Reducing Industrial Waste

We are minimizing the moisture content of sludge generated from wastewater treatment to reduce waste output.
