 Presentations were given by 
senior managers/Director to 
demonstrate support for project 
 Team working activities followed 
presentations in respective work 
areas 
 3R’s: Reduce-Reuse-Recycle

Reuse: Packaging Re-use 
• Martini Product Corner post packaging re-use 
• Returnable post extension designed, enabling waste posts to be 
used on finished products 
• Waste reduced by 83 tonnes per year 
• Reduction of waste for end user 
• Horizontal deployment opportunities 
• Returnable packaging opportunity

23

Zero Waste to Landfill: 2001 
Approach: 
 Recognising “waste” as a resource 
(Waste-2-Product) 
 Management commitment, targets 
 Ownership through people involvement and 
use of knowledge 
 “Segregate at Source” approach included in 
employees induction 
Compliance with environmental legislation, 
Result: waste recognised as a resource for 
sale and cost saving, whilst reducing 
environmental impacts.

IEMA – From Waste to Resources 
 Resources are the life blood of 
manufacturing. Without a clear 
view of supply risks and an active 
and ambitious strategy to manage 
those risks, businesses will be 
increasingly vulnerable to price 
volatility, supply chain 
disruption and business 
continuity risks.

Continuous INPUT of resources to create products and OUTPUT of 
chemical substances, a linear relationship between these two are to 
be the basis of increasing the negative environmental impact on the 
Earth. 
In the future, if natural resources are to be depleted the we won’t be 
able to continue our normal business activities. We wonder if there is 
a way to avoid running out of resources as opposed to such linear 
activities.

Manufacturing Today 
 The sustainable ideal is a balanced 3Ps 
approach 
 Most of today’s product tends towards 1st life/ 
single use (profit centric) 
 Sustainable design is increasing, but not yet 
the mainstream (Manufacture assembly, 
disassembly and end of life - MADE BS8887 
part2) 
 Ricoh reacts to the market conflict of “1st Life 
vs. Sustainable Customer Demand” through 
 Developing robust reverse logistics 
 Life cycle (Comet Circle) drive towards 
retention of assets 
 Ricoh’s role is to learn, and move towards 
resource conservation.

SRM Summary 
Strategy: to develop our business to maintain materials for productivity 
 Long term approach (2050 Plan) 
 Zero Waste underpins Sustainable Resource Management 
 Increasing Supply Chain awareness of Reverse Logistics 
 Life Cycle - Comet Circle deployment 
 Diversification of operation (remanufacturing) 
Result: 
 Manufacturers and Customers now beginning to grasp Resource 
Conservation as a strategic issue. 
 Reduced environmental impact of operation, extended life cycle of 
materials, resulting in an increased ability to maintain future business 
continuity (Sustainability).
