In line with Canon’s corporate philosophy “Kyosei”, Canon HK advocates a green product lifecycle in every process of our operations, as a responsible corporate citizen. Since 2011, Canon HK introduced “Ink Cartridge Recycling Programme” to local education sector and debuted “Canon x McDull Inter-school Ink Cartridge Recycling Competition” for local primary and secondary schools. In order to further promote the concept of recycling in all-rounded perspectives among schools, Canon partnering with Business Environment Council co-arranged “Environmental Seminar” for the participating schools. Thanks to all your support, this year is the 10th anniversary of the Programme. Under the new normal, the seminar was held in hybrid online and offline format this year, sharing tips to protect the environment during the COVID-19 pandemic, while promoting environmental education.
This year, there are a total of 235 schools joining the “Inter-school Ink Cartridge Recycling Competition”, with over 6,000 ink cartridges being collected and recycled. As of June 2021, the Programme has collected over 228,000 pcs of ink cartridges, recycled over 5.3 tons of plastics. It helps reducing over 8 tons of CO2 emission, which requires 351 trees to absorb in a year.
