The Ricoh Group contributes to the development of a sustainable society based on the Comet Circle concept.

For the Ricoh Group to become the type of organization we envision, not only does the Group need to realize change towards the creation of a sustainable society but society as a whole also needs to realize such change. In 1994, we established the Comet Circle as the basis to encourage such change. The Comet Circle expresses the greater picture of our environmental impact reduction scheme, which includes not only the scope of the Ricoh Group as a manufacturer and sales company but also the entire lifecycle of our products, including upstream and downstream of our business activities. Being well aware that product manufacturers like Ricoh, because of their involvement in the early phases of a product's lifecycle, can make the greatest contribution to reducing environmental impact, we engage in all business taking into account the Comet Circle.

Identifying and reducing the total environmental impact at all stages of the lifecycle

To reduce the environmental impact throughout the entire product lifecycle, we must identify the degree of impact at each stage, from business process to transportation, by all involved parties—the Ricoh Group, suppliers, customers and recycling companies. Using the Sustainable Environmental Management Information System, which covers all of these stages, we identify the environmental impact to promote development of environmental technology and reuse and recycling of our products, thus striving to reduce the total environmental impact.

在内循环回收和促进多元回收系统的优先级

Resources have the highest economic value when they are manufactured into products and used by customers. The Ricoh Group puts priority on reusing and recycling products and parts, expressed as the inner loops of the Comet Circle, to return used products to their highest economic value. When a part cannot be reused in a product, we will recycle it as a material. In such cases, we make every effort to recycle the part into a material with a quality as high as possible or to recycle it in the closed loop recycling system, or a system which allows the recycled material to be used within the Group, thereby achieving the highest possible economic value. We also repeat recycling as many times as possible under the "multitiered recycling system" to reduce the need to use new materials and ultimately reduce the volume of waste generated.

• More economically rational recycling
  在可持续发展的社会中，使用的产品不应被视为浪费，而是有价值的资bob软件苹果怎么下载源。也就是说，必须开发回收系统，其中产品和金钱在产品使用后阶段的相反方向流以及原始生产和营销阶段。bob软件苹果怎么下载利用升级设计的理光组建立了一个在生产中重复使用的系统。与回收公司合作，我们一直在努力改善回收资源，最大限度地减少再利用和回收所需的能源和成本。这样，我们正在推广更经济的合理回收系统，对环境影响较小。bob娱乐平台
• Reducing the needs of new resources with greater use of recovered resources
  自1994年启动彗星圈以来，RicoH集团已经建立了一个系统，该系统在其上恢复并重新引入市场，并使道路更有效地利用资源。bob软件苹果怎么下载鉴于某些矿产资源在不久的将来可能耗尽的可能性，如果需要大量资源，因此不能说的制造风格是可持续的。理光集团将加速我们转向新的制造风格，从而通过回收利用和利用生产中的新资源大大减少了资源的价值。

Establishing a partnership at every stage

To effectively reduce the environmental impact, close communication and information-sharing among partners is critical. The Ricoh Group strives to reduce its environmental impact in all of its business areas through partnerships with parties at all stages of the product lifecycle. The initiatives include the reduction of environmentally sensitive substances in cooperation with materials and parts manufacturers, improved efficiency in transportation, and green marketing. We also offer solutions to our customers to reduce the environmental impact of their offices. By disclosing information and know-how garnered through these activities and working with local communities, the Ricoh Group helps reduce the environmental impact of society as a whole.
