Fuji Xerox Company Limited has a long–standing commitment to accept responsibility for its products throughout their life cycle shared by Fuji Xerox Australia.

The following diagram depicts the movement of our equipment from our parent through our Australian operations to our customers. It also illustrates how we take back packaging, products, parts and toner cartridges returned by our customers for remanufacturing and recycling either at our Zetland Eco–Manufacturing site in Sydney, or at the Asia Pacific recycling centre in Thailand.

The rationale for taking our products back at end–of–life is not just related to responsible ‘waste’ management; remanufacturing and reusing parts allows us to reduce new resource input and to cut the carbon footprint of new product manufacture. By incorporating policies for future remanufacturing and recycling into our product design process, the Fuji Xerox Group has avoided almost 100,000 tons of carbon emissions and reduced the requirements for raw materials by 17,400 tons, as of October 2007.
