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. ↓↓

Company information
◆Reinforced cardboard "Navi Ace" ◆Cardboard pallet "Navi Palette" We propose improvements to logistics challenges. 【Features】 ~90% of the raw materials are recycled paper~ - Lower CO2 emissions compared to other materials - Higher recyclability than other materials This contributes to carbon neutrality. ~Can be processed using the same methods as regular cardboard~ - Superior processability compared to other materials This allows for custom designs tailored to the contents, which can improve logistics efficiency and contribute to cost reductions such as transportation expenses. *Other materials = wood, iron or steel, plastic resin, paper tube materials, etc. Additionally, we established and relocated a new manufacturing facility in 2023, expanding our production scale. - Smoother deliveries across the Kanto region - Improved quality with new equipment - Production facilities that consider the global environment and labor conditions - Doubling production capacity enables the creation of packaging for heavier and more complex products. *As of September 2023, we changed our company name from Fukuno Cardboard Industry to Navi Ace Kanto.
