The Green Plan 2010 set as a target of reducing the use of packaging and wrapping materials by 40% from the FY1990 level by FY2010. We are promoting the three Rs (reduce, reuse, recycle) to reduce resources used for packaging. We are adopting returnable steel and plastic containers that can be used multiple times (recycle), reusing waste cardboard, and improving the specifications of packaging to reduce the amount of materials needed.

In FY2008 our reduction target from the previous year's level was 899 tons. As a result of our efforts, the actual reduction was 1,259 tons and we reached our goal of a 40% from the FY1990 level two years ahead of schedule.
