Packaging Design
Resource conservation, reusability, and recyclability are not a short-term, temporary trend. It is vital that packaging designers incorporate these values into designs while ensuring the survivability of products. Pegatron's Green Packaging Design incorporates these green elements into its comprehensive assessments during design, including minimizing the adverse environmental impacts of packaging materials, the manufacturing process for making packaging, and the final disposal of unneeded packaging materials.

Besides meeting required product features and specifications, Pegatron packaging design also uses environmentally sound materials, adheres to substance restrictions, and uses the recycling logo in accordance with logo licensing requirements. For example, the ink used on packaging fully meets green requirements. Pegatron uses recycled materials: more than 90 percent of all Pegatron packaging is made with recycled materials. Use of the international recycling logo on our packaging stresses the importance of the environment to the consumer. Specific details of packaging design include:
 
Design to reduce overall material use
1. Use soft paper boards to replace hard paper boards and bottom boards.
2. Decrease the cushion material structure as well as the overall carton's weight.
3. Alter the packaging and folding designs to accommodate more merchandise.
 
Environmentally friendly design
1. Use recycled materials.
2. Use paper pads to replace polyurethane sponge.
3. Restrict the use of expanded polystyrene (EPS).
4. Use only one color of ink to make recycling easier.

Packaging prohibits the use of all materials containing lead (Pb), cadmium (Cd), mercury (Hg), chromium (Cr6+), and polyvinyl chloride (PVC).
 
Recycling Logo Marked
The International Recycling logo is included on packaging materials to demonstrate the ability of the packaging materials to be recycled.

As described in Pegatron’s ISO documentation, we have standards for packaging design and identification such as the identification and implementation of packaging material standards (GP3-00038).
