Fairfield, NJ (Feb. 7, 2024)<\/em> \u2014 Kyocera Document Solutions, Inc., is proud to announce that it has won the 2024 WorldStar Award for its innovations in packaging for its color A4 printer devices. Organized by the World Packaging Organization, the WorldStar Global Packaging Awards is the largest contest in the global packaging industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For over 20 years, Kyocera, one of the world\u2019s leading document solutions companies, has developed printers and MFPs with long-life parts and low-waste solutions, minimizing the number of consumable parts that must be discarded after use. The organization has also made efforts to use environmentally friendly packaging by replacing plastic packaging with pulp molds and corrugated cardboard made from recycled paper.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kyocera has won the 2024 WorldStar Award for \u201cPaper packaging with improved repetitive cushioning performance.\u201d This is a crowning achievement for Kyocera\u2019s efforts to replace plastic foam cushioning materials with paper cushioning materials for the packaging of its MFP and printers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While multiple impacts can reduce the effectiveness of paper cushioning materials, Kyocera\u2019s packaging solution uses a support shape for its pulp mold and corrugated cushioning material to prevent collapse and breakage. Damage upon impact was reduced by up to 61% during tests.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cReturning to the podium to receive this sustainability award once again is extremely gratifying for our entire organization,\u201d says \u00d3scar S\u00e1nchez, President and CEO of Kyocera Document Solutions America, Inc. \u201cThis recognition is yet another expression of Kyocera\u2019s management philosophy, which says innovation and sustainability are intrinsically linked. It\u2019s becoming increasingly clear that a serious commitment to sustainability is necessary for continual success, which is why I am so optimistic about our future.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
