Proposal for improving labor conditions using cardboard (SDGs labor environment improvement) - Moving away from nail use.
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 a case study of improvement at a company that was relying on elderly silver workers for packaging tasks. Currently, the silver workers were assembling wooden pallets (wooden geta) using purchased lumber. We began the design process after hearing that: ◆ It is difficult to secure personnel. ◆ They wanted to minimize the use of wood considering environmental impact. 【Reasons for not transitioning to cardboard】 It seems that there had been a top-down goal to eliminate the use of 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. - They could not find a cardboard manufacturer that could meet such requests. 【Improvements made】 - No need for nails or bolts - Lightweight packaging - Elimination of label application (printing directly on the packaging) ↓ ↓ ↓ ☆ Anyone can package ☆ Simplified disposal for end users (from industrial waste to recycled paper) ☆ Reduction in air freight costs and more. By simply replacing wood with cardboard, various benefits arise. ↓↓ For more details, please download the materials below and feel free to contact us. ↓↓
