【Environmental Issues】

1. Choosing low-eco-impact materials

(1) Materials containing no hazardous substances or substitute materials (2) Materials containing reduced amounts of hazardous substances and recycled materials (3) Materials that are easily recycled

2. Reducing material usage

(1) Reducing product size (2) Reducing product weight

3. Optimizing production engineering

(1) Simplifying the production process (2) Conserving energy (3) Reducing waste (4) Using fewer materials (5) Reducing consumption of hazardous substances

4. Ensuring an efficient delivery system

(1) Reduced use of packaging and packing materials (2) Reuse and recycling of packaging and packing materials (3) Energy efficient modes of transportation (4) Use of low-emissions vehicles ("green delivery")

5. Reducing environmental impact at the product usage stage

(1) Energy efficiency and reduced use of expendable supplies (2) Control of greenhouse gas and nitrogen oxide emissions (3) Control of noise, vibration, and odors

6. Optimizing product life

(1) Improved durability (2) Easy maintenance and repair

7. Optimizing the final stage of product

(1) Collection, recycling, and reuse of the product and its parts (2) Easy separation, disassembly and sorting of all materials (3) Easy availability of reuse and recycling systems (4) No toxic substances are generated during incineration, landfilling or other processes.
