Our Commitment to the SDGs

Actions
Specific EffortsKey Issue (1) Building Environmentally Conscious Businesses
Utilizing the characteristics of metals to eliminate waste, reuse, and recycle for the future.
Products that are disposed of after being ordered or purchased from AICHI METAL are reused (reused) and become part of new products. By taking advantage of the ability of metals to be reborn not only once, but many times, we are contributing to the realization of a circular economy that recycles resources.
As an example, we have developed and deployed a sustainable material called "HAGANE," a liquid metal that utilizes metal powder and scrap metal, which are by-products of various metal processing. It can be applied only as much as needed in necessary areas while retaining the beauty of traditional metals. These materials combine beauty, functionality, and sustainability, and contribute greatly to effective use of resources and reduction of waste.
Through such recycling of metals, we aim to fulfill our "responsibility to create and use (SDGs 12)," manufacture products in harmony with the global environment, and build a sustainable society.
