Canon and the environment

Canon and the Environment

In 1990, Canon introduced The Clean Earth Campaign and began to recover and recycle toner cartridges used in many Canon office products. In 1995, Canon U.S.A. repositioned The Clean Earth Campaign as a branding umbrella to represent all of Canon’s U.S. environmental accomplishments. Since that time, this campaign has grown into one of the leading and most visible environmental cause related initiatives in the United States.

 Canon begins to analyze the environmental impact of products at the beginning of the product cycle. Programs include energy-efficient manufacturing processes, developing energy-efficient products, using a greater amount of recycled materials, creating a copier toner cartridge collection and recycling program and eliminating hazardous substances. More information about these and Canon’s many other initiatives and technologies can be found in the Canon Sustainability Report.
