Eco Station
We have promoted recycling by setting up eco station facilities to collect various classes of waste so that each employee can strictly observe waste classification. We started promoting waste reduction in 2006.
By reducing the size and weight of products and packaging materials, while transitioning to addressing prototype-less production, we were able to reduce the amount of waste generation by 25% in two consecutive years. Our target for the 2008 action plan is to further reduce waste by 15% .
