Eco-products
Efforts for designing Eco-products As for product design, we are carrying out R&D to incorporate the latest energy-saving technologies into our new products. At the same time, we carry out product assessments to evaluate the environmental impact of products at each stage, such as component and material procurement, manufacture, distribution, use, recycling, and disposal. Newly developed products are compared with commercially available and existing products and are certified as Eco-products (Eco-design products) if they satisfy the specified evaluation standards. Eco-products are presented in catalogues and other materials with a LEAF symbol. |
Life cycle assessment (LCA)
LCA is one of the techniques used to provide a general quantitative measure of levels of environmental impact including global warming that products have through their life cycles. We evaluate the environmental compatibility of a product using this method. Our rate of implementing LCA in our Ecoproducts was 90%.
