Efforts to Reduce Consumption of Paper Resources

  • Virgin pulp consumption cut to 29,000 tons through closed loop telephone directory recycling, electronic payment, and Internet billing statement services
As a major consumer of paper resources for telephone directories and other publications, the NTT Group endeavors to reduce its paper usage through the closed loop recycling of old telephone directories into paper for new directories, double-sided printing of internal documents, promotion of paperless electronic payment, and various other measures.
We maintained our efforts to curb virgin pulp consumption in fiscal 2007 by raising the percentage of recycled paper used in NTT telephone directories to 69.1%.
We also reduce paper consumption by offering customers who pay their bills via automatic bank transfer or similar services the choice of using online billing statement services that enable them to view details of their bills via the Internet, e-mail, or mobile handsets any time of the day. In fiscal 2007, registrations for these services rose to 3.985 million, which translates into an annual saving of about 805.2 tons of paper resources, equivalent to 201.27 million sheets of A4 size paper.
NTT LOGISCO too operates a convenient and secure confidential document collection and recycling service(SS-BOX) that collects huge volumes of old and unneeded confidential documents from various corporations which are recycled into protective packaging material or copier paper.
