Panasonic
and the Environment
Reduce, reuse, recycle
Dear Panasonic Customer,
Welcome to the Panasonic family. We hope that you will have many years of enjoyment from your new
Colour Television.
Thank you for choosing to buy this Panasonic Colour Television. It was assembled at our Panasonic Television
factory in Penrith, Australia under an internationally accredited quality and environmental system. You can
therefore be assured that you have purchased a quality product incorporating features to reduce environmental
impacts.
As part of our commitment to conserving natural resources we provide the following
information about the reuse, recycling and disposal of your packaging.
Cardboard
Cardboard comprises up to 75% of the packaging in your Panasonic TV and all of our
cartons are manufactured with optimum levels of recycled fibre.
1. Reuse
Cartons can be readily folded and packed flat for storage and made up when required for later use.
2. Recycling
If you, or someone else has no further use for the carton, it can be flattened or cut up
and placed into the recycle bin or service provided by your local council (applicable for
most parts of Australia).
By recycling the cardboard you are benefiting the environment by reducing
waste to landfill and reducing the dependence on virgin forest timbers for paper fibre.
Plastics
Panasonic is reducing the number of different plastics used in both the Television and its packaging.
Unfortunately you are unable to include the type of plastic used in Television packaging in the curbside-
recycling program. Polystyrene foam and other plastic will need to be placed in your general waste bin.
