Hitachi Rail

Today is World Environment Day 2023 and the focus this year is #beatplasticpollution. Every year around 400 million tonnes of plastic waste is produced and studies estimate that there is already 75 to 199 million tonnes of plastic in oceans across the globe. At Hitachi Rail, we are contributing to #beatplasticpollution across the globe. We're focussing on the environmental design of our products. For example, we've introduced the use of more sustainable construction materials for installing the Cross River Rail Projects ETCS rail signalling system in Brisbane, Australia. TufDuct is a material made from 100% post-consumer plastic waste and approximately 27m of TufDuct cable troughs were installed for the project. Any waste from the installation could be reused or fully recycled. Innovative sustainable mobility is at the heart of our business and we believe that we have an obligation to inspire and build a better and more sustainable future for cities and customers across the globe.
