Toshiba India carries out the design assessment in consideration of the product life cycle-from procurement through to disposal.
The company will pursue its environment friendly functions and is committed to the improvement of the five stages of product life cycle:
1. Procurement stage (selection of parts, materials)
— Elimination/reduction of prohibited and restricted substances (Green Procurement).
— Reduction of compound materials and parts that are difficult to disassemble.
— Minimization of use of natural resources.
2. Manufacturing Stage
— Elimination/reduction of prohibited and restricted substances (Green Manufacturing)
— Reduction of packaging materials for parts
3. Distribution Stage
— Reduction of packaging materials.
— Styrene-foam-free packaging.
4. Usage Stage
— Reduction of power consumption (development of energy saving products).
— Reduction in volume and mass of products.
5. End-of-life Stage
— Design for easier disassembly.
— Provide information for recycling and disposal — indicate raw materials used in products.
To reduce these impacts and contribute to the formation of the recycling-based society, Toshiba India promotes the 3Rs – reduce, reuse and recycle to help the environment, which in turn will help the community and the quality of our future generations.
Recycling initiatives by the company are to protect the environment. The proper recycling techniques ensure that minimal damage will be done to the environment as a result of improper disposal.
