Non-hazardous Solid Waste
Xerox recycled 92% of its non-hazardous solid waste in 2007 – up 1% from 2006.
Non-hazardous Solid Waste Recycling Rate: All Facilities
In addition to typical solid waste generated from manufacturing, construction and maintenance, Xerox manages end-of-life machines returned to Xerox equipment recovery/recycle facilities. Returned equipment and parts that cannot be reused through remanufacturing, which we classify as “equipment waste,” make up more than 60% of the non-hazardous solid waste managed by Xerox operations.
2007 Non-hazardous Solid Waste Management: Distribution by Type
Equipment that reaches the end of its useful life is returned to Xerox equipment recovery/recycle facilities. To maximize environmental and financial benefits, Xerox first evaluates returned equipment for its reuse potential. Products suitable for reuse undergo rigorous equipment remanufacture processes.
