When your home appliances reach the end of their life, you might assume they’re destined for the landfill. But what if they still held hidden value—materials just waiting to be rediscovered?

That’s exactly the mission behind Panasonic’s Eco Technology Center (PETEC), a pioneering facility that’s been “treasure hunting” since 2001.

🔍 From Waste to Worth 
At first glance, discarded appliances may seem like junk. But inside, they’re packed with reusable resources—metals, plastics, and components that can be extracted and given a second life.

PETEC uses cutting-edge technology to carefully dismantle and sort these materials, identifying what can be recycled and reintegrated into new products. It’s all part of a smart, sustainable loop: 
Produce → Use → Return → Reuse.

By turning yesterday’s appliances into tomorrow’s innovations, PETEC is proving that even in the scrap heap, there’s treasure to be found.
