We sincerely appreciate your continued patronage.Taking measures to protect the environment is the most crucial issue for businesses today. The Fujikura Group is working on expansion of environmentally friendly products to reduce burdens on the environment over their whole lifecycle. We also aim at becoming "a human- and eco-friendly company" to attain sustainable development of the earth, society, and businesses.

We carry out environmental impact assessment on our products at all the stages of planning, development and design. The green product management committee review product assessment results and resisters ones that meet predefined criteria as Green Mind Products. In addition, products of significantly high environmental performance compared to Green Mind Products are registered and promoted as Green Products. This feature story will introduce major examples among 348 products registered as Green Mind Products between 2010 and 2014.

It will be the Fujikura Group's privilege to be of any service to you.

With current growing public awareness about global environmental issues, a reduction in the total weight is demanded of a vehicle especially to improve fuel efficiency, and wire harnesses are no exception. Fujikura has developed an

ultra-thin electric wiring (CIVUS wire) with a 10 to 20 % thinner outer diameter and 20 to 30 % lighter weight and is expanding the installation of the wires into vehicles. CIVUS electric wires are available in eight different sizes from 0.13 mm2 to 1.5 mm2.

The FLP-GSeries of

FiberlaserFiberlasers are superior to other lasers in terms of power savings and are currently increasing in market demand.In such trends, the FLP-G series of fiberlaser are excellent at saving power and resources with

increased maximum output of 75 W from 55 W and half the volume of what it used to be while maintaining its basic performance.

This ultra-small image sensor module is used in an electronic endoscope. The module has more flexibility as well as a considerably smaller diameter and lighter weight than conventional endoscope with a CCD and lens. The product will reduce the burden

on a human body during diagnosis and treatment and contribute in saving resources and energy. The module will support re volving future medicar care.

Fujikura manufactures FPCs free of environmentally damaging substances. In the past, FPCs used halogens (chlorine, bromine) and lead-containing solder. Partly because of growing environmental requirements in these years, we use halogen-free materials and lead-free solder for plating and mounting. We will recommend to our clients FPCs containing no environmentally damaging substances as our standard products.

We develop and mass-produce the FF52 series of connectors with an ultra-low profile of 0.5 mm and the FF27 series of connectors with an ultra-narrow pitch of 0.175 mm. These products are reduced by 25 % in height and area compared to conventional products and that contributes to resource saving from reduction in spase. They use RoHS-directive-compliant halogen-free materials with environmental regulations in mind. In addition, the products use low-resistance materials to save energy and contribute to environmentally friendly society.

This aerial distribution optical cable has been developed to build FTTH networks fast and economically. The cable has been decreased by 54 % in cross sectional area and by 45 % in weight compared to a conventional one and helps to save resources. The eco-friendly cable contributes to reductions in CO2 emissions with the packaging quantity reduced by 60 % to increase delivery efficiency.Furthermore, the product allows easy disassembly, where the core is removed from the outer sheath safely and easily, resulting in a shorter installation time.

Solar-CQ is a cable dedicated to solar power plants and operates under a maximum voltage of DC 1500 V. This cable is thinner,

more compact and easier to install than conventional 600 V low-voltage cables. The cable is also designed with consideration for the environment and uses materials free of heavy metals such as halogen and lead in the insulation and sheath. We can ship cables cut at a length required by a customer and attached to connectors, contributing to reducing wastes generated by construction at a power plant and saving materials.

An yttrium-based high-temperature superconducting wire rod has a high critical temperature and a characteristic of displaying high critical current even in magnetic fields. The wire rod is thus expected to go into practical use in a wide range of operating temperatures and magnetic fields. Verification testing of various applications such as power cables and superconducting magnets has already been conducted. Making the wire rod superconductive results in the miniaturization and sophistication of conventional devices and consequently reductions in environmental burdens. Fujikura will pursue the development of higher quality products and contribute to next-generation, low-carbon, high-efficient energy society by providing high-reliability superconducting wire rods.

WABE Package® is an ultra-thin circuit board embedded with components. This circuit board is made of laminated polyimide, which is used for FPCs. The module that uses WABE technology has been miniaturized by 50 % in size and weight compared to conventional products manufactured by surface mount technology. The products have also been mass-produced since last year for the medical and healthcare field. We exert our efforts to reduce materials used for production and employ environmentally friendly manufacturing processes.
