Products that Address Environmental Issues

Our monitors are equipped with multiple power-saving features, including automatic brightness control that reduces backlight, low power consumption during standby mode, power save mode, and a function that confirms the amount of power saved. Users can substantially reduce electricity consumption for an entire office by using our freely available power management software to simultaneously adjust the brightness and power of multiple monitors centrally.

We use recycled plastic for the housings of our monitors and the percentage of recycled plastic is more than 80% in most cases. We are also designing lighter and smaller monitors to reduce the amount of plastic used and to improve the efficiency of transportation and delivery to reduce GHG emissions during transportation.

Since paints can contain chemicals that contribute to air pollution, we avoid using paint for the exterior finish by achieving desired colors, gloss, and smoothness solely through the plastic material. We also use flame retardant-free plastics. These measures reduce the release of chemical substances into the environment for the benefit of the environment and workers’ health while also reducing chemical substances and improving recyclability.

We use cardboard boxes made of recycled paper as packaging for our monitors and are replacing accessory packaging from plastic to paper. We are also advancing the use of pulp molds made of 100% recycled materials for cushioning materials. We are working with our suppliers to reduce packaging materials by eliminating individual plastic packaging at the component procurement stage.
Efforts to reduce and reuse packaging materials include reusing returnable boxes and used packaging materials for product deliveries to specific customers and for the transportation of components between Japanese and overseas factories.

Only a power cable and a minimal number of video signal cables are supplied with our products to prevent wastage of unused cables during installation. For corporate customers, we also offer special options to exclude stands and cables not needed for installation or pack multiple units in a single box. This minimizes working hours and waste during installation and reduces the resources and energy used during transportation.
