Sustainable Use of Water Resources at Production Sites

Water Recycling

Canon promotes the recycling of water resources. For example, taking into consideration its impact on the marine ecosystem of nearby Beppu Bay, which abounds with precious natural resources and habitats, the Kitsuki Plant of Oita Canon employs a fully closed wastewater system that discharges only rainwater.

Initiatives at Production Sites

At Canon Ecology Industry, wastewater from equipment used in air conditioning and other infrastructure is treated and recycled for reuse in the production process of toner and ink cartridges. Canon Inc.,

Taiwan’s production site re-uses the wastewater from the cleaning equipment in the polishing process.
