For the implementation of ISO 14001, 2004 environmental certification, Comet is implementing a program to
minimize the impact of packaging on the entire supply chain and the environment, also respecting our customer
needs. Our analysis showed an opportunity to improve the packaging materials and packaging instructions for
the vacuum capacitors. The existing rigid foam has shown to have a negative impact on the environment and is
not totally clean room compatible.
This analysis has led Comet to change its packaging concept from the existing foam packaging to a customized airbag packaging solution for small semiconductor use vacuum capacitors. Larger size vacuum capacitors
will keep their current packaging due to size and weight considerations.
This airbag packaging concept for Vacuum Capacitors gives several benefits:
1. Clean room compatible packaging
2. Environmentally friendly packaging according to ISO 14001, 2004
3. Positive cost impact due to reduction in waste handling and storage room capacity
