Responsible Use and Disposal of Plastics

Basic Approach

Plastics have been used in many fields and applications as useful material that supports modern society. In recent years, however, there have been cases where the excessive use and inappropriate disposal of plastics have led to environmental problems such as marine plastic pollution. Another issue is that plastics result in large emissions of CO2 during their life cycle, from production to disposal.

The Bandai Namco Group has positioned “sustainable use of resources and raw materials” as one of the key items within its material issue of “harmonious coexistence with the natural environment.” To date, each Group company has been working to reduce use and promote efficient use of raw materials, including natural resources, and to curtail and reduce waste generation.

To further promote and actualize these efforts, the Bandai Namco Group formulated the Bandai Namco Group Plastic Environmental Consideration Policy in April 2025. Under this policy, we will focus even more on reducing and recycling plastic than before.
