Mitsubishi Materials Corporation has begun a demonstration with Australian resources giant BHP to reflect environmental value across the entire supply chain. The initiative will use copper raw materials whose mining operations were powered by renewable energy. The finished copper cables are expected to be used at Amazon Japan's logistics warehouses, where demand is also expected to grow as the use of AI expands.
Mitsubishi Materials Corporation has begun a demonstration with Australian resources giant BHP and others to reflect the environmental value generated during copper mining across the entire supply chain. The initiative will use copper raw materials whose electricity consumption during mining was fully covered by renewable energy. This is expected to improve the visibility of environmental value.
The copper cables produced under the initiative are intended for use at Amazon Japan's logistics warehouses. They are also expected to help meet rising demand as the use of AI expands.
Mitsubishi Materials Corporation aims to capture demand for decarbonization through greater visibility into environmental value. NTT DATA and 7 other companies are reportedly involved in building the system.
