Amino acids are produced 2.4 million ton per year all over the world. The Ajinomoto Group produces them mainly from sugars or starches through fermentation process and a large amount of organic by-products are also produced. The Ajinomoto Group has established system of so called "Bio-Cycle" to make use of these organic byproducts for sustainable amino acid production. These by-products are returned to farms mainly as fertilizer. This recycle system of fertilizer can save not only chemical fertilizer but also the energy and CO2 generation for chemical fertilizer production. Ajinomoto Group takes care of not only main products but also by-products with technical service, quality control to meet customer's satisfaction and environment preservation

By Directive on RoHS, the use of six hazardous substances is restricted to new electrical and electronic equipment put on the market in Europe from 1 July 2006. The estimation of the type and the content of brominated flame retardants is necessary in plastics of the equipment and the parts. The new technique by using time-of-flight secondary ion mass spectrometry (TOF-SIMS) is proposed for rapid screening test of these substances. We named this technique one droplet extraction method. The sampling method of brominated flame retardants in plastic materials with toluene on silver substrate was investigated for analysis of trace organic compounds by TOF-SIMS. High impact polystyrene (PS) and polypropylene (PP) plates were prepared as evaluation samples containing decabromodiphenylether (DeBDE) of 0.01-10 wt%. Evaluation time that includes sample pretreatment time and measurement time was about 1 hour. The positive quasi-molecular ion (DeBDE+Ag)+ (DeBDE cationized with Ag) was suitable for estimation of DeBDE. It was proved that content and spectral intensity had the clear magnitude correlation within 0.01-10 wt% content of DeBDE. It was found that the quick decision of whether the brominated flame retardants in the plastics is the substance restricted or not by Directive on RoHS is possible by this method. We can screen the substances in wide range of content of 0.01-10 wt%. Also it was found that the quick decision of whether hexavalent chromium is present in metals is possible by an application of this method. It was confirmed that one droplet extraction method using TOF-SIMS is a very powerful technique for the rapid screening test of brominated flame retardants and Cr (VI). It can be expected that hazardous substance management that concerns Directive on RoHS becomes more reliable

The present study assesses on the role of ecodesign strategies to promote improvements in life cycle environmental performance of electrical and electronic equipment. Through the use of a simplified LCA (life cycle assessment) methodology, the life cycle environmental impacts of mobile phone equipments of successive product generations from one manufacturer were determined. LCA results have demonstrated that improvements in general product environmental performance can be obtained, although in some specific environmental impact categories, such improvements were limited. With the newly implemented WEEE management system in Portugal, the study on DfR (design for recycling) and DfD (design for disassembly) strategies has showed that DfR's potential for product environmental performance enhancement is limited, as recycling is still not very efficient and is dependent on multiple operations that have environmental impacts themselves. DfD, on the other hand, has proved to be an important strategy in reducing life cycle environmental impacts if it manages to promote product/component reuse

Performance measurement is a fast evolving and diverse research field which features highly on the agenda of academics and practitioners from functions including management, accounting, marketing, and human resources. This paper reviews state-of-the-art of business and environmental performance from both literature and field observations. As a result, two ecodesign operationalization strategies are being identified based in the use of performance measurements. The authors propose a performance index known as Ecovalue that is not only aiming to reduce environmental load of products, but also its consumption.

Since the beginning of the 90's Ecodesign Education and Knowledge has been built up based upon Ecodesign methodology developments and experiences in education and in practice in demonstration projects. During the end of the 90's first attempts took place to transfer the created Ecodesign education and knowledge from Europe to other parts of the world like Central & Latin America, India and Africa. Because of the differences in economical, social and cultural contexts the European Ecodesign approaches had to be adapted to the local situations in order to become effective and successful. Based upon these experiences we came to the conclusion that in order to transfer Ecodesign knowledge in an effective way to the local receivers (students, consultants, professionals), the specific background and characteristics of the receiver and the local context should be taken (more) into consideration

To solve the more and more serious conflict between human society and environment, the traditional consumption style should be changed to a more sustainable style. The paper brings forward a conceptual model for sustainable consumption against the traditional style of consumption. The duration between natural material extracted from environment and emitted to environment again is divided into four phrases: extraction, manufacture, consumption, and recycle. The traditional style of consumption has another phrase that is waste. In the conceptual model we brought forward, there is no waste phrase which is replaced by a helical consumption style

The grain size dependence of electrolytic properties in 25 at.% yttrium doped ceria was investigated. The sintered bodies were prepared from fine Y0.25Ce0.75O1.875 powders synthesized by carbonate co-precipitation method. By using sintering temperature in range of 950deg-1400degC, the average grain size of electrolytes varied from 90 nm to 0.9 mum. The conductivity of samples with different grain size was determined by dc three-point measurements at 400degC-600degC. Then the activation energy was calculated from the data of electrical conductivity. Grain-size dependence was observed on the plots of conductivity vs. average grain size. As the grain size decreased from 0.9 mum to 0.3 mum, the conductivity decreased and the activation energy increased. This result was consistent with previous reports and could be explained by the space-charge-layer model. However, the conductivity increased while the grain size decreased from 0.3 mum to 90 nm. Correspondingly, the activation energy decreased. To clarify the mechanism of this phenomenon, the microstructure of samples was observed using TEM. Nano-sized domains inside the grains were observed on the high resolution images. Their size and amount were reduced as the grain size decreased. It is possible that the abnormal increase in conductivity at fine grain size (<0.3 mum) was partly contributed by the changes in nano-sized domains

In the electronic assembly, Au is frequently used for surface plating and a bonding wire material. To recover gold from waste electronics, the dissolution process using cyan is a popular method, however, the solution is highly toxic. Accordingly, the environmentally conscious substitute process is preferable. Chromobacterium violaceum having ability of cyanide formation and decomposition were used to dissolve Au and decompose cyanide after Au dissolution. In this study the effects of dissolved oxygen on Au dissolution was investigate as a factor of Au bioleaching and continuous and repeated batch cultures were performed for the continuous Au dissolution as a reproducing cyanide process. Dissolved oxygen concentration decreased by the bacterial respiration but the aeration could recover it and activate Au dissolution. By replacing the medium C.violaceum can produce cyanide repeatedly then 60% of Au was dissolved from Au powder after 300h immersion

The Japanese End-of-life Vehicle (ELV) Recycling Law came into force in January 2005 to cope with five million ELVs that are disposed every year. This study focuses on the impact of ELV Recycling Law on recovery of automobiles from the perspective of product life cycle. In response to the ELV Recycling Law, automobile manufacturers have focused on technological innovation that enhance the levels of material recycling and part reuse. Other life cycle outcomes, such as re manufacturing of vehicles, are not likely to emerge as a result of the enforcement of the law alone
