Wastewater Recycling System- The Largest of its Kind in the Industry

100 Percent of the 28,300 tons of water used per day in manufacturing processes is purified and recycled.

The Kameyama Plant is a “Super Green Factory” which minimizes environmental burden to the utmost. With the largest wastewater recycling system in the industry, water used in manufacturing processes (28,300 tons per day) is completely purified.

15,300 tons of water per day are recycled from Kameyama Plant No. 1

To manufacture LCD panels, an enormous amount of pure water is required. Sharp believes that maximum recycling of water should be done to preserve our water resources. At the Kameyama Plant, by constructing a closed system that recovers and reuses all the wastewater from manufacturing processes, the preservation of water resources is being achieved. All water used in manufacturing processes, up to 15,300 tons per day from Plant No. 1, is recovered then processed biologically and physicochemically according to the conditions of the wastewater. The purified water is then ready to be recycled.

13,000 tons* of water per day are recycled from Kameyama Plant No. 2

At Plant No. 2, which uses eighth-generation glass substrates that are larger than the substrates used at Plant No. 1, all 13,000* tons of water used each day in manufacturing processes are recycled.
