FUJIFILM Business Innovation established the Circular Manufacturing Center at FUJIFILM Manufacturing Europe B.V., in the Netherlands, to promote resource circulation in Europe. As a first step, the new manufacturing center has been collecting used toner cartridges from printers and remanufactures new toner cartridges since June 2024.

FUJIFILM Business Innovation Asia Pacific launched two remanufactured^*1 A3 colour digital multifunction printers, ApeosPort-VI C5571 R and C3371 R from the ApeosPort-VI C series on 15th September. The printers were developed based on the principle of treating used products as valuable resources instead of as waste.
In a circular economy, it is paramount to maintain the quality and consistency of materials used in recycled products. FUJIFILM Business Innovation is committed to sustainable development and has been bolstering its environmental strategy with various initiatives, such as collecting used products from users to adopt a closed-loop system. The remanufactured printer series reduce environmental impact with their parts reuse rate of 84% (by weight), and CO2 emissions reduced to 56% as compared to newly manufactured printers^*2 throughout their product lifecycles.

We have established a new site in Nishi-Shinjuku (building name: Sumitomo Fudosan Shinjuku First Tower) to promote work styles that enhance the productivity of individuals and teams. This new site incorporates an office design that enables "Activity Based Working"^*1, which we are actively promoting. Through the reduction of electricity consumption and the use of renewable energy^*2 achieved through work style reforms, we have become the first company in Japan to achieve carbon neutrality in our domestic office locations. In addition to our affiliated companies, a total of eight companies, including multiple companies within the FUJIFILM Group, comprising approximately 2,100 people, have relocated from the old office to the new site and completed their move by November 5, 2023.
