Pioneering a Circular Economy
Central to our commitment to waste-free workplaces is the drive toward a circular economy.
At Xerox, we believe that reducing waste is not only good for the environment, but also for your business. That’s why we pioneered this practice decades ago, by remanufacturing, reusing and recycling office equipment. Our devices are built to last, with fewer parts, easy disassembly, and strict chemical standards. We want you to enjoy high-quality performance while helping you reduce your environmental impact.
A longstanding commitment to waste-reduction
We have embedded circularity in our products since 1959, long before the term circular economy was created, and take a lifecycle approach to low carbon design, addressing impacts from raw materials and manufacturing, transportation, use and maintenance, through extended life management.
With the rise of regulations on resource use and stakeholder sensitivity to waste management and environmental impacts, more consumers and organizations now prioritize circularity in their purchasing decisions and brand perception.
Supporting our clients' circularity needs
Our vision for circularity extends to our clients’ workplaces, where electronics and supplies at the end of their useful life can come full circle to become the raw materials of tomorrow. Where, without compromise to product quality and the client experience, natural resources are conserved, and waste becomes obsolete.
To achieve this vision, we incorporate a comprehensive Design for Sustainability approach, covering four key phases of a circular economy:
Preventing and Managing Waste
We are committed to producing waste-free products in waste-free facilities to help our clients reduce waste. Our aim is to design products, packaging and supplies that make efficient use of resources, minimize waste, reuse material where feasible (including recycled plastics), and recycle what can't be reused.
