In response to the steadily increasing awareness of environmental issues, ARKRAY's Development Division and Production Division have set the following targets, and have decided to certify products that have been improved compared with our existing products as "environmentally friendly products".
■ Promoting Environmentally Friendly Design and Development
1. Develop products that meet ARKRAY's environmental design standards including environmental regulations
2. Reduce the amount of containers of and packaging on products (including reducing plastic materials) and promote recycling.

In 2022, ARKRAY issued guidelines for our Development Division to evaluate environmentally friendly products.
We will work on development so that 100% of our newly developed products receive this certification.
We evaluate based on criteria like those shown in the table below (a partial excerpt) for the scoring and final decision.
| Evaluation Item | Evaluation Criteria |
|---|---|
| Reduce product weight and volume | The entire product is reduced in weight and volume |
| Reduce packaging materials | Packaging materials are reduced in weight and volume, and simplified |
| Use recycled resources and parts | Environmentally friendly materials are used |
| Provide information on recycling, etc. | Parts and packaging materials are labeled to indicate the materials used |
| Promote long-term use | The product is now more durable Expiration dates for consumables have been extended |
| Save energy and resources | Power consumption during measurement and standby has been reduced Resource consumption for measurement has been reduced |
| Make disassembly easier | Removing batteries has been made easier |
| Conserve the environment | The amount of liquid waste has been reduced The environmental impact of the materials has been reduced |
Only products that reach a certain overall score will be certified and sold as environmentally friendly products.
If we determine during development that the targets have not been met, we will reconsider the design, and we will keep working on development so that 100% of our newly developed products sold from 2022 onward are environmentally friendly.
