Reducing the amount of paper resources used |

The bulk feeding
system contributes toward protecting the environment by greatly
reducing the amount of paper resources used.
Components of taping packaging (percentage by weight)
When checking the construction of taping packaging, it is found that
80% of the packaging material is composed of paper tape. The function
of the paper tape is to keep electronic components lined up. However,
after components have been used, the paper tape is typically discarded.
Since plastic tape is also being used for taping packaging, it is
common for paper and plastic tapes to sometimes be mixed together,
making recycling difficult. |

Amount
of paper resources used according to type of packaging
The bulk feeding system helps protect the environment by reducing the
amount of paper resources used, to only 1/40 to 1/20 that of previous
products (compared with our products).
The bulk case is designed as a packaging material that can be reused or
recycled. If the bulk case can maintain the performance of the
electronic component packaging materials, it can be reused. But if the
performance of the case's packaging material is lost, the bulk case is
broken down and recycled. |
