A number of sustainable product initiatives ensured conservation of energy and materials in 2005:
- Diverted 107 million pounds of material from landfills through equipment remanufacturing and 14 million pounds through reuse/recycle of supplies.
- Energy-efficient product features enabled energy savings of 34 million therms (1.0 million megawatt hours). Parts reuse saved an additional 9 million therms (280,000 megawatt hours) of energy.
- All products achieved Xerox’s strict standards for minimal use of hazardous materials and emissions of noise, ozone, and dust.
One measure of success is the number of Xerox products launched that meet the world’s most widely recognized environmental certifications. In 2005, 100% of Xerox’s eligible product offerings met ENERGY STAR and 98% met Environmental Choice EcoLogo criteria. While only 9% met Germany’s Blue Angel’s strict criteria, more products are planned for 2006.
Xerox recognized early in its drive for Waste-Free Products
that the best results – both environmental and financial –
are achieved when products are designed from the outset
with Waste-Free goals in mind.
