Japan has the world’s 10th largest population at 127 million people in an area that fits within the state of California. Sixty percent of this terrain is covered with mountains and is uninhabitable. Japan has the most densely populated living territories in the world. Given these confines in terms of space and available resources and concerns over growing pollution issues after the booming economy developing since World War II, the
Japanese government introduced several environmental protection laws in the 1970s covering urban air pollution, waste management, nature conservation, climate change and chemical management among others.
In terms of the electronics assembly market, there are varieties of green technology products developed in Japan to address some of the concerns and limits if not driven by the legislation above, than upon popular consumer demand. The presentation will discuss the unique, green-technology products that provide assemblers with solutions that not only assist the Japanese electronics assembler in saving costs during their process, but also are helpful to the environment and can be used globally for the benefit of the industry as a whole.
