|
|
| •POINT
1 |
|
Can be used repeatedly due to lightweight,
excellent rigidity, and the use of low-foam polypropylene.
Further, the Ecology Returnable Box can also be cleaned,
making it very hygienic. |
| |
|
| •POINT
2 |
|
Shipping and acceptance of the product,
as well as folding away for storage, can be performed
smoothly due to suppression of behavior typical of
plastics by special processing of the underlined
parts. |
| |
|
| •POINT
3 |
|
Risk of injury to hands or arms during
shipping or handling is not an issue, due to comprehensive
safety design. |
| |
|
| •POINT
4 |
|
Suitable for recycling,
as the product requires no special treatment for
disposal, and is made entirely from a single material
(no adhesives are used). |

Application
Examples and Reasons |
|
|
| |
| •Packing
for gel containers |
|
A resin mold manufacturer used to use
cardboard boxes for delivering gel cups, but users
pointed out the problem of chaff. Ecology Returnable
Boxes were adopted as a countermeasure for chaff. |
| |
|
| •Transporting
of items when relocating |
|
Adopted by a major transportation company
for its new business (relocation of offices to new
premises). It first considered using plastic boxes
and containers, but, taking safety (i.e., to prevent
injury at customers' premises) of edges and ease
of folding into account, adopted Ecology Returnable
Boxes. |
| |
|
| •Cases
for transfusion packs |
|
A pharmaceutical resin mold manufacturer
used to use cardboard boxes for delivery of transfusion
drip packs to the customer, but use of cardboard
boxes was to be discontinued at the user’s request,
and it examined adoption of other resin products.
However, because it was not mechanically possible
to change the shape of a box from the conventional
cardboard box shape, Ecology Returnable Boxes were
adopted. |
| |
|
| •Plastic
Automobile Parts |
|
A resin mold manufacturer used to use
reusable cardboard boxes for delivering automobile
parts to major automobile manufacturers, but because
they are not durable for a long period of time and
with the aim of reducing cardboard waste, Ecology
Returnable Boxes were adopted. Impressed by the advantages
of ease of folding and reusability, the company now
uses several types of Ecology Returnable Boxes. |
| |
|
| •Cases
for shipping Petri dishes |
|
A molded product processing manufacturer
used to use cardboard boxes for delivery of Petri
dishes (for microbial cultures) to research institutes,
but because of the problems of chaff and mites, it
decided to adopt Ecology Returnable Boxes. |
| |
|
| •Laminated
tubes for pharmaceuticals and cosmetics |
|
A tube manufacturer used to use fiber
cases with partitions to deliver laminated tubes
to pharmaceutical manufacturers, but because of the
problems of chaff and mites after delivery, it decided
to adopt Ecology Returnable Boxes. Existing cases
have to be sprayed with insecticide at fixed intervals
to prevent mites when returned. |
| |
|
| •Delivery
of aluminum tubes for pharmaceuticals |
|
An aluminum tube manufacturer
used to use cardboard boxes for delivery of aluminum
tubes to a pharmaceutical manufacturer, but due to
the problem of chaff and waste (because of one-way
use), it adopted Ecology Returnable Boxes. |

Significance
of Ecology Returnable Boxes |
|
|
| |
The Basic Law for Establishing a Recycling-Based
Society was passed on May 26, 2000, which codified in law
for the first time the priorities for processing waste
materials and recycling countermeasures.
Priorities:
1. Reduce waste creation, 2. Reuse, 3. Recycle, 4. Heat recovery,
and 5. Suitable disposal
Of these, the Ecology Returnable Box can be cited as an example
of 2. Reuse.
In view of the growing popularity of reusable plastic cases,
they are expected to replace short-life cases. We recommend
the Ecology Returnable Box as the ideal replacement.
(CX-I and CX-II are standardized products.) |
