Many companies continue to send materials overseas for recycling / disposal to take advantage of cheaper labor costs. We prefer to keep this process within the US where we have better control over how and where the materials are recirculated. As such, we have partnered with reputable vendors within the United States who handle our take back programs for equipment and consumables. Keeping these processes within the US also reduces the carbon footprint related to transportation. ​

Ricoh Global has been contributing to the Circular Economy since 1994 with the Comet Circle™ Concept​
