Dear Panasonic Customer
Thank you for choosing to buy a Panasonic colour television. This product was assembled at our Panasonic Television Factory
in Penrith, New South Wales, Australia under our Quality and Environmental Management System. You can therefore be
assured that you have purchased a quality product incorporating environmentally friendly features including low standby power
usage and lead free soldering. Our company is also continuously improving the environmental performance of our product
through the elimination of hazardous chemicals including brominated flame retardants and Chromium 6.
As part of our commitment to conserving natural resources, we recognize that product packaging can be a valuable resource
and if not disposed of properly, contributes the waste stream and or end up in landfill. As part of our commitment to conserving
natural resources we provide the following information about the reuse, recycling and disposal of your packaging.

ARDBOARD
Cardboard comprises the majority of the packaging in your Panasonic TV and all of our cartons are
manufactured with optimum levels of recycled fibre.
1. Reuse
Cartons can be readily folded and packed flat for storage and made up when required for later use.
2. Recycling
If you, or someone else has no further use for the carton, it can be flattened or cut up and placed into the recycle bin or
service provided by your local council (applicable for most parts of Australia). By recycling the cardboard you are
benefiting the environment by reducing waste to landfill and reducing the dependence on virgin forest timbers for paper
fibre.

LASTICS
Panasonic is reducing the number of different plastics used in both the television and its packaging.
Unfortunately you are unable to include the type of plastic used in television packaging in the curbside-recycling program.
Polystyrene foam and other plastic will need to be placed in your general waste bin.
Panasonic companies world wide are committed to an environmental Policy that envisions a world where humanity co-exists with
