Creating sustainable value

Equipment designed for the environment

Every piece of Fuji Xerox equipment, from multifunction office devices to high volume production presses is designed with the environment in mind. At the design stage of product development we incorporate technologies that:

Eliminate the need to use hazardous material;
Enable low energy consumption during use of the machine;
Utilise innovative and energy efficient toner and ink technologies and;
Will later facilitate the remanufacture or recycling of used machines and parts.

Solutions for responsible businesses

Our equipment features and document management software enable our customers to achieve both business and environmental benefits. In the office, our customers can:

Copy, print, fax, scan and email with a single energy efficient machine reducing energy consumption and costs;
Reduce paper wastage through features such as duplexing, multiple-up printing, booklet making and scan-to-email/network folders and fax-to-email capabilities;
Divert large workloads to be efficiently produced in professional print environments (internal or external).

In the large volume production print environment customers can:

Reduce paper wastage through print-on-demand functionality;
Deliver highly personalised on-demand communication using multiple media channels such as print, web, e-mail and mobile devices, thereby reducing excessive paper consumption;
Enable increased relevance through personalisation and allow the ability to track and measure return on investment.
