Revalue Project to create new value from factory waste

[Company / organization] Panasonic Corporation

We are promoting the Revalue Project to create new value from factory waste in the form of totally new products, through creative design. To date, waste from manufacturing processes for clothing irons, rice cookers and kitchen systems has been used to produce bookends, lighting equipment, tables and other furniture items in creative collaboration with our business partners. The Revalue Project won the Good Design Award 2020 (Business motel category). We plan to develop further projects of that kind and create new value through broader co-creation.
