Reduction of the amount of waste produced

By sorting industrial waste and enhancing recycling efforts, JPR is actively working to reduce the amount of waste produced. With the support of tenants and cleaning companies, the following waste-reducing initiatives have been implemented:

• a）Expanding the scope of recycling
• b）Recycling used fluorescent light tubes and batteries
• c）More thorough sorting rules
• d）Enhancing recycling and educational activities

Waste and Recycling Rate

Category	FY 2018	FY 2019	FY 2020	FY 2021	FY 2022
Annual waste amount (t)	4,950	4,813	3,860	4,610	5,001
Recycling rate	54.9%	57.7%	56.7%	59.7%	62.0%

• This graph aggregates data for properties owned by JPR, excluding properties where tenants dispose of waste themselves.
• The waste amount and recycling rate data is data from FY2018 (from April 1, 2018 to March 31, 2019) to FY2022 (from April 1, 2022 to March 31, 2023) .
• Three small buildings are not included in the totals because they do not engage in activities such as gathering waste data.

Management of hazardous substances

Treatment of asbestos

• With the Ordinance on Prevention of Health Impairment due to Asbestos (the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare) coming into effect in July 2005, employers have been obliged to take measures such as the removal, containment and enclosure of sprayed asbestos if it could disperse in a building where their employees work.
• JPR had carried out the removal of sprayed materials such as asbestos at the time of facility renovations, before the Ordinance came into effect, and all the necessary measures such as removal, containment and enclosure have been completed in locations with a high frequency of use, such as offices and corridors.
• In properties that contain asbestos and other sprayed materials, JPR inspects and verifies that the asbestos is below the standard value by measuring the status of the asbestos on an ongoing basis when JPR measures the air environment based on the Act on Maintenance of Sanitation in Buildings.
• When acquiring a property, JPR has experts conduct an investigation upon concluding a sales contract to ensure that environmental pollutants such as asbestos are managed appropriately.

Treatment of PCB

If PCB is contained in a property owned by JPR, JPR treats the PCB according to related laws and regulations after removing the electrical equipment that contains PCB. During the period until the treatment, JPR stores and manages the electrical equipment appropriately based on the PCB storage and management standards of the environment bureau of each prefecture.
