**Tokyo, Japan** – Sony Corporation announced big changes today. The company is making its packaging much better for the planet. Sony wants to use less plastic. It also wants to use more recycled materials. This is part of Sony’s plan to help the environment.

Sony sells many products worldwide. These include TVs, cameras, headphones, and game consoles. All these products come in boxes. Sony is changing the materials inside these boxes. The company will stop using plastic for things like bags and cushioning inside the boxes. Instead, Sony will use new materials made from paper. These paper materials are designed to protect the products just as well.

Sony explained the reasons for this change. The company wants to cut down on new plastic made from oil. Using less plastic is good for the environment. It reduces waste. Sony also wants to use materials that can be recycled more easily. The new paper packaging is easier to recycle than mixed materials.

The changes will happen over time. Sony is starting with its smaller products first. Things like cameras and audio gear will get the new packaging soon. Later, bigger products like TVs will follow. Sony is working with its suppliers to make this happen. The company expects to see a big drop in plastic use. Sony hopes other companies will make similar changes.
