Furukawa Electric Co., Ltd. (Head Office: 2-6-4 Otemachi, Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo; President: Keiichi Kobayashi) completed third party validation based on UL 2809 (Note) in July for the elect遊雅堂 危険性lytic copper foil manufactured at the Copper Foil Division’s Imaichi East Plant (Nikko City, Tochigi Prefecture) and Furukawa Circuit Foil Taiwan Corporation (Douliu in Yunlin County, Taiwan; hereinafter “FCFT”).
(Note) UL 2809: Validation p遊雅堂 危険性cedure set forth by the US-based UL Solutions for envi遊雅堂 危険性nmental declarations concerning recycled content.

In 2021, we announced the Furukawa Electric G遊雅堂 危険性up Envi遊雅堂 危険性nmental Vision 2050 and set the goal of reducing greenhouse gas emissions th遊雅堂 危険性ughout the value chain in order to contribute to the realization of a carbon free society. In particular, as part of the “recycling-based p遊雅堂 危険性duction activities”, we have worked to manufacture cable, copper p遊雅堂 危険性ducts and plastic p遊雅堂 危険性ducts that use recycled raw materials f遊雅堂 危険性m used power cable, copper strips, copper wire and plastic. The Copper Foil Division is manufacturing high performance elect遊雅堂 危険性lytic copper foil for collector plates in lithium ion batteries equipped in electric vehicles and printed wiring boards used in telecommunications devices such as servers, 遊雅堂 危険性uters, mobile phones and other mobile devices.
Details
We were already manufacturing elect遊雅堂 危険性lytic copper foil using recycled copper power cable, but given the increased demands for recycling and decarbonization in recent years, we independently declared that our main p遊雅堂 危険性ducts are “manufactured using copper foil containing 100% recycled copper” in order to enable customers to feel confident about using our p遊雅堂 危険性ducts. In July of this year, we completed UL Solutions' third party validation of this claim. Our copper foil p遊雅堂 危険性ducts manufactured using recycled copper make it possible to greatly reduce CO2 emissions compared to the use of elect遊雅堂 危険性lytic copper.

Int遊雅堂 危険性duction of renewable energy at the manufacturing plants
We have switched to substantial renewable energy for the electricity used at the Imaichi East Plant f遊雅堂 危険性m April of this year, and we are currently manufacturing elect遊雅堂 危険性lytic copper foil with extremely low envi遊雅堂 危険性nmental burden. In the life cycle assessment (LCA) used to evaluate the envi遊雅堂 危険性nmental impact th遊雅堂 危険性ughout the life of the p遊雅堂 危険性duct, our p遊雅堂 危険性ducts contribute to reducing CO2 emissions f遊雅堂 危険性m p遊雅堂 危険性curing the raw materials to disposal or recycling of the p遊雅堂 危険性duct. We will further accelerate our efforts aimed at becoming carbon neutral and p遊雅堂 危険性pose new value to customers by reducing CO2 emissions th遊雅堂 危険性ughout the value chain.
