03 Efforts for Distribution<br />
■Efforts through Reducing and Reusing<br />
1Using Returnable Containers<br />
We are actively pursuing the use of returnable containers<br />
in our domestic transportation and delivery activities.<br />
Cardboard had been previously used domestically but we<br />
started using returnable containers from fiscal 2003 to<br />
reduce paper and improve operating efficiency.<br />
In fiscal 2010, returnable containers accounted for 22%<br />
of the total number of containers used in shipments out<br />
of our factories, reducing the use of cardboard by about<br />
72 tons. Also, returnable containers used for receiving<br />
shipments accounted for 53% of all receiving containers,<br />
resulting in reduction of about 161 tons of cardboard.<br />
■Efforts through Recycling<br />
Reusing Cardboard<br />
<strong>Suzuki</strong> reuses cardboard materials already used in<br />
factories as cushioning materials. Since a machine that<br />
produces cushioning materials was introduced in 2003,<br />
we have promoted reuse of waste cardboards. In fiscal<br />
2010, we reused about 31 tons of them.<br />
Returnable containers used in shipments out of the factories.<br />

2Promotion of using returnable containers for packaging materials<br />
<strong>Suzuki</strong> make efforts to use returnable racks instead of<br />
steel cases, which used to be discarded at local plants,<br />
in order to reduce the amount of packing and packaging<br />
materials used.<br />
In fiscal 2010, we began to send returnable racks to<br />
Ecuador. In addition, we have already used returnable<br />
racks in Hungary, India, Indonesia, Taiwan (Tai Ling<br />
Motor), Pakistan (motorcycles and automobiles), USA<br />
(SMAC) and China (Changan <strong>Suzuki</strong>). As a result, about<br />
65% of packaging materials are transported with the use<br />
of returnable racks.<br />
