Resource conservation for product packages
Along with resource conservation for products, OMRON is also striving to reduce the use of materials for packaging. Accompanying the adoption of a new smaller, lighter AC adaptor for the 'Spot Arm' automatic blood pressure monitor, the product package's internal layout was also reviewed. With the redesigned package, the inner lid provides a space for storing accessories and the number of internal buffer materials has been reduced, while thinner cardboard was used for the box. Through these measures, the volume and mass of its packaging was reduced by 7% and 33%, respectively, while keeping the shock-absorbing functions equivalent to the former package. Use of less internal buffer materials also contributed to reduced package assembly steps and enhanced ease of disposal.
