PRESERVING NATURE'S ABUNDANCE FOR FUTURE GENERATIONS THROUGH RECYCLABLES
Epson is committed to building a circular economy by embracing recyclables and reducing dependence on underground resources.
1 Non-renewable resources such as crude oil and metals.
2 Recycled material is used in the plastic of printer housings.
3 Moderate humidity is required.
We must recycle and reuse above-ground resources to avoid consuming virgin underground resources.1 Epson uses recyclable resources in printers - our key product line. For example, we've developed printer housings that contain a percentage of recycled plastic.2 We have also stopped using Styrofoam cushioning in some products, replacing it with cushioning made from cardboard or with materials recycled using Epson's Dry Fiber Technology. Used paper from our own operations is reduced to fibers in a dry process3, mixed with a binder, and then molded. Paper-based cushioning performs as well as Styrofoam, providing the protection that our printers demand as precision machines. We will continue to develop technologies that combine quality and eco-friendliness for our products.
At Epson, our employees face societal issues head-on in an effort to achieve sustainability and enrich communities.
