Bandai’s Plastic Model Factory recently announced the installation of a new solar panel system. With this, the company hopes to help reduce its annual carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions by 130 tons. The factory produces high-quality plastic model kits for popular series such as Gundam and Kamen Rider and is located in Shizuoka Prefecture, Japan.
The new solar panel system was installed on the factory’s roof and has a capacity of 630 kilowatts. It is expected to generate approximately 660,000 kilowatt-hours of electricity a year. That is the same amount of energy used by about 190 houses. The use of these solar panels will greatly reduce the factory’s reliance on non-renewable sources of energy. Overall, it is sure to help lessen the effects of climate change.
This plan by Bandai’s Plastic Model Factory is part of the company’s commitment to reducing its carbon footprint. The company also hopes to promote sustainable practices in its global fanbase. In recent years, there has been growing concern about the impact of plastic waste on the environment. Bandai has been working to address this issue by using more eco-friendly packaging for its products. The use of these solar panels is another step in the right direction. It also shows the company’s dedication to promoting sustainable practices in all aspects of its business.

In addition to the use of solar panels, the factory has also started other measures to reduce its environmental impact. These include the use of energy-efficient lighting and air conditioning systems. There is also an added use of a waste reduction program that encourages employees to recycle and reduce trash.
Overall, using the solar panel system at Bandai’s Plastic Model Factory is a positive step towards reducing the company’s environmental impact. Hopefully, others will see and start promoting sustainable practices in the manufacturing industry. We also hope that other companies will follow suit and take similar steps to reduce their reliance on non-renewable sources of energy and promote more eco-friendly practices in their operations
