Proposal for improving labor conditions with packaging materials (SDGs labor environment improvement) *Elimination of nail driving
Reducing the labor burden on elderly silver workers through cardboard conversion. No need for nails or bolts, and with lightweight packaging, anyone, including women, can handle packing! Towards a company that is friendly to workers.
This is an improvement case from a company that had been relying on elderly silver workers for packaging tasks. Currently, silver workers were assembling wooden pallets (wooden geta) using purchased lumber. We received feedback that: - Securing personnel is difficult. - Considering environmental impact, we prefer not to use wood as much as possible. Based on this feedback, we began the design process. **Reasons for not transitioning to cardboard** It seems that there had been a top-down goal to eliminate wood for some time, but they had not progressed to an all-cardboard solution. - Currently, products were fixed to the wooden geta with bolts. Since cardboard cannot be secured with bolts, they hesitated to make the switch. - They could not find a cardboard manufacturer that could meet these requirements. **Improvements made** - No need for nails or bolts. - Lightweight packaging. - Elimination of label application (printing directly on the packaging). ↓ ↓ - Anyone can package the products. - Simplified disposal for end-users (from industrial waste to recycled paper). - Reduced air freight costs. By simply replacing wood with cardboard, various benefits arise! ↓↓ For more details, please download the materials below and feel free to contact us. ↓↓
