Collection and Recycling of POS Products

In October 2002, TOSHIBA TEC Corporation started the "Collection and Recycling System" for POS systems nationwide.

This system achieves a high recycle rate by collecting POS systems and other retail solutions products by the intermediate dealers designated by the Headquarters and implementing maximum possible material recycling.

As the leading POS terminal manufacturer and distributor, TOSHIBA TEC Corporation is promoting the creation of a recycling-based society.

Collection and Recycling of Copiers and MFPs

TOSHIBA TEC Corporation collects and recycles end-of-use copiers and MFPs in cooperation with its customers, TOSHIBA TEC Business Solution Corporation which is a distribution source, and TERM CORP. which is a contracted recycling firm.

In 1998, collection and recycling of end-of-use copiers started in the Tokyo and Kanagawa regions, and has been expanding its geographic coverage to nine bases throughout Japan.

Collected copiers are manually dismantled into each element, in order to facilitate the recycling process.

As a result, over 98% of end-of-use copiers collected are recycled.

In addition, by participating in the Recycled Equipment Exchange System within the Japan Business Machine and Information System Industries Association or JBMIA, to increase its product collection efficiency, TOSHIBA TEC Corporation takes back its own end-of-use copiers, which other companies have collected.

For the customers who desire to terminate the use of the machines, not to replace them, TOSHIBA TEC Corporation makes a contract for disposal and recycle directly with the customer in accordance with the wide-area certification system acquired from the Ministry of the Environment.

Thus, TOSHIBA TEC Corporation contributes to creating a sustainable society by exercising the system to minimize the waste and recycle as much end-of-use copiers and MFPs as possible.
