Vigorous reduction in the use of cardboard packaging

Panasonic AVC Networks Company manufactures TVs and audio equipment in the Kadoma district. The company is reducing the use of cardboard boxes as packaging materials substantially in the district.
   The company replaced cardboard boxes used for delivery of parts with returnable plastic boxes, which can be used repeatedly, in cooperation with parts manufacturers and partner companies. And the use of recyclable stretchable films was promoted. As a result, paper waste was reduced by 2.9 tons annually.
