Integration of Eco-Friendly and Sustainable Materials
Sustainability is becoming a key trend in the market, with manufacturers increasingly using eco-friendly materials such as recycled metals, biodegradable fabrics, and energy-efficient components. A recent industry report highlights progress in emissions and waste reduction, with greenhouse gas emissions down 19% since 2013 and a municipal waste level two-thirds lower than the OECD average. However, Japan is facing growing pressure to phase out fossil fuels and improve recycling, especially plastics, to meet its target of net zero by 2050.

Some high-end models now feature solar-powered options or low-energy consumption motors, appealing to green-minded buyers. Government incentives for eco-friendly products further support this shift.
