JUKI -Approach to Environmental Problems- Environmental considerations in production

■ What are JUKI ECO-PRODUCTS?

When the JUKI Group manufactures products, it carefully considers the environment at every stage of the product lifecycle, from material procurement, manufacture, transportation, and use to recycling and disposal. We introduced the "JUKI ECO-PRODUCTS AUTHORIZATION SYSTEM" in March 2009, and we evaluate 38 assessment items relating to the environment at the development stage. Only the product which achieved especially-high level environmental consideration is authorized as "JUKI ECO-PRODUCT."
