Ricoh recycles and reuses copier packaging materials

On November 27, 2000, Ricoh announced that the company changed the packaging materials of the copiers into reusable materials. In the future, they will recycle the packaging materials of the copiers. This will reduce the burden on the environment and reduce the costs associated with packaging materials. Ricoh plans to first use reusable materials on packaging materials for two large copiers ("MF5570" and "MF7070 series") in January 2001, and then expand the use of materials to mid-size copiers in 2001, 2002. Later this year, this material was expanded to all products other than copiers.
At present, the company's copiers mainly use hard-shell paper and other paper packaging materials, although users have made great efforts in the recycling of hard-shell paper, but the packaging material's scrap rate (discarded part of the weight of the total weight of the transfer material The proportion is at a relatively high level of 42.7%. By changing the packaging material to a reusable plastic packaging material developed by Ricoh alone (as shown in the photo), the waste rate can be reduced to 1.4%. In addition, this plastic packaging material can be reused at least 18 times in 3 years. Barcoding on each packaging material can be realized in the real sense of recycling through logistics management.
