Clean Factories - Reducing Waste from Factories

Panasonic's efforts to achieve zero emissions center not only on recycling, but also on the reduction of the absolute amount of waste generated, including waste that is valuable or recyclable. We have set a target of reducing total waste arisings per unit of sales by 20% by fiscal 2011 from 2001 levels. As in our efforts for global warming gas reduction, we have taken into account the price index in our consolidated sales figures of basic units since fiscal 2007.
