Acting for reducing the packing materials at SHANGHAI JUKI SEWING MACHINE CO., LTD.

SHANGHAI JUKI SEWING MACHINE CO., LTD. improved its method for packing circuit boards in the stage of materials and parts procurement. This company used to place circuit boards individually into antistatic bags and transported them in corrugated cardboard, packaging materials that were finally discarded as waste.
To eliminate waste, the company abolished the antistatic bag and replaced it with a newly designed antistatic tray that serves as a returnable case. The economic benefit resulting from the reduced emissionsand waste is estimated to reach 8,170 RMB annually.
While the improvement is currently adopted for the company’s main Circuit Board only, the company will develop similar solutions for other types of Circuit Boards horizontally.

Before implementation: the antistatic bag becomes waste material.

After implementation: the electrostatic tray can be put into a line as is.

Making efforts to reduce CO2 emissions in the stages of production at SUZUTAMI PRECISION INDUSTRY CO., LTD.

To save energy and increase productivity, SUZUTAMI PRECISION INDUSTRY CO., LTD. has used a subsidy to cover investment costs for the renewal of six of the airconditioning machines in the factory to energy-saving types. This company now operates 23 energy-saving air-conditioning machines accumulated from the installation of the first machine in 1991. These six new air-conditioning machines are energysaving, silent, and equipped with easy-to-clean filters. A factory space is also widened because the main unit is compact. These compound effects enabled a reduction in the electricity consumed by 2,058 kWh a month.
