*1 Revised due to identified errors or a review of the calculation method.
*2 Calculated based on adjusted emissions that exclude temporary factors such as fluctuations in ethylene operating rates.
*3 In Japan, calculated based on the definition of “specially controlled industrial waste” stipulated by Waste Management and Public Cleansing Act; overseas, calculated based on the definition of hazardous waste stipulated by local laws and regulations or the Basel Convention .
*4 Recycling ratio = Offsite recycling/Waste sent off-site
*5 Landfill rate for industrial waste = Landfill/Waste generated
