FGL Circular Network & FGL LeaseUp Business Service

Collaborating to save resources and reduce waste

FGL Circular Network and FGL LeaseUp Business Service are involved in processing the leased properties of Fuyo Lease whose lease agreements are up. FGL Circular Network reuses and recycles properties at the end of their leases when they still have value and otherwise recycles and appropriately processes them as waste products. FGL LeaseUp Business Service conducts administration for the continued use of properties for which re-leasing is possible. In this way, the two companies work collectively in “contributing to the development of a circular society,” a goal stated in the Environmental Policy of the Fuyo Lease Group.

Contributing to a circular society by promoting the reuse of used PCs

The Hachioji Technical Center of FGL Circular Network takes in several thousand computers each month for reuse, computers previously used in the PC Rental, PC Eco & Value Lease, and PC-LCM (lifecycle management) services provided by Fuyo Lease.
Computers transferred to another party for reuse are first subject to appropriate processing that includes destroying all data and checking for proper functioning. The company has established a system for reselling used computers that had been leased or rented, and by promoting reuse, it contributes to the development of a circular society.

For devices that cannot be reused, efforts are made to limit the occurrence of waste and reduce it through a recycling system established at the Seki Factory of Matsuda Sangyo Co., Ltd.

Appropriate disposal of waste

Property for which a lease has expired and cannot be reused are discarded. Going above and beyond simply complying with the Waste Disposal and Public Cleaning Law (Waste Management Act), as a waste generating business operator, we keep close track of every piece of waste we dispose of through an electronic manifest system. We conduct on-site inspections of waste disposal contractors according to an annual schedule.

Examples of intermediate processing plants

Waste is transported to an intermediate processing plant and is reduced in quantity and volume by processes such as crushing. As a result, a lot of waste is now being recycled at the intermediate processing plant.
