This document summarizes Ricoh's approach to sustainability and remanufacturing. It discusses Ricoh's goals of reducing environmental impact by 30% by 2030 and 87.5% by 2050 compared to 2000 levels through an eco-centric culture and technical innovation. Ricoh aims for zero waste to landfill and obtains 50% of materials from recycled or reused sources by 2050. The company focuses on resource conservation through remanufacturing used products and parts in its "Comet Circle" process to keep resources in use longer. Ricoh's Telford, UK site has achieved zero waste to landfill status since 2002 through rigorous segregation and finding markets for all waste materials.
The global mushroom packaging market has grown due to innovations from companies like Ecovative Design. Mushroom packaging is made from fungal mycelium and agricultural waste, making it a low-cost and biodegradable alternative to plastics. Major players in industries like furniture and electronics are switching to mushroom packaging due to regulations against single-use plastics and its comparable durability. However, long production times remain a challenge for the mushroom packaging market to expand. Future growth will depend on lowering costs through economies of scale and developing applications for electronics and other industries.
Treatment Methodology with Ammonia Recovery of Dyes and Pigment Manufacturing...IRJET Journal
This document reviews treatment methods for wastewater from dyes and pigment manufacturing industries. The wastewater has high levels of chemical oxygen demand (COD), total dissolved solids (TDS), and ammonia-nitrogen (NH3-N). Conventional biological treatment methods are limited in their ability to remove nitrogenous compounds from this wastewater. Advanced treatment methods that allow for ammonia recovery through stripping are discussed. Stripping ammonia at a high pH provides an opportunity to recover ammonia for use in fertilizer production. Coagulation-flocculation using chemicals like sodium hydroxide (NaOH) or calcium hydroxide (Ca(OH)2) to increase pH creates favorable conditions for
This document is an environmental product declaration (EPD) for IPC corner guards that provides information on the environmental impacts over their life cycle according to ISO 14025. It summarizes the product definition, material content, manufacturing processes, and life cycle assessment results for various IPC corner guard products. The scope of the EPD is cradle-to-gate with options and includes manufacturing, packaging, end-of-life disposal, and recycling credits. It excludes transportation after manufacturing and the use stage.
The LigniMatch project explored using lignin from pulp and paper mills as a precursor for value-added chemicals. Three potential products were identified - activated carbon, carbon fibers, and phenol. Activated carbon production is already established but lignin-based carbon fibers for automotive applications showed the most promise. A roadmap was developed to guide future innovation in the Nordic/Baltic region for lignin-based products to replace fossil fuels. Recommendations include forming a consortium to further develop lignin-based carbon fibers for the automotive industry.

How to manage and utilize the Plastic Waste with the developed Technologies for Recycling.
Cleaner production is an approach that focuses on preventing pollution at the source by reducing raw material, water and energy usage, minimizing waste generation, and increasing production efficiency. [1] Traditional "end-of-pipe" corrective controls are costly and do not address the root causes of pollution, whereas cleaner production considers the entire lifecycle and prioritizes pollution prevention over treatment. [2] Implementing cleaner production techniques such as process modifications, good housekeeping practices, material substitutions and equipment upgrades can boost profits through increased productivity while decreasing environmental impacts.

The document discusses Life Cycle Assessment (LCA), including its definition, ISO requirements, and steps. LCA looks at a product's environmental impacts from raw material extraction to disposal. It discusses case studies on LCAs of olive oil packaging (tin vs plastic), PET water bottles in California, expanded polystyrene packaging in Europe, and electric vs gasoline vehicles. For the olive oil study, tin packaging had a lower overall environmental impact than plastic. The PET bottle LCA found packaging and disposal stages impact water pollution the most. Expanded polystyrene and polypropylene packaging were compared for energy use and water pollution impacts. Electric vehicles require less total energy over their lifetime than gasoline vehicles.

The document discusses sustainable recycling initiatives in developing countries. It describes how developing countries have large amounts of renewable, non-renewable, and secondary raw materials that are important to their economies. However, dependency on raw materials can also hinder development. The Swiss State Secretariat for Economic Affairs (SECO) supports sustainable management of raw materials through various bilateral and multilateral programs. SECO focuses on non-renewable raw materials, renewable agricultural raw materials, and secondary raw materials from recycling. A new SECO program called Sustainable Recycling Industries will promote standards and sustainable practices around secondary raw materials stewardship, recycling initiatives, and life cycle inventories.

– The proliferation of “Green Labels”
– Our production chain

10. THE ENVIRONMENTAL LABELS (“Green Labels”):
RadiciGroup Project
At RadiciGroup choices have been
made :
In a European context.
Following firmly established and
internationally recognized
normative rules.
In line with our corporate
sustainability model:
ISO 9001, ISO 14001, OHSAS
18001, SA 8000, ISO 50001,
ISO 14064
11. The ISO norms dedicated to the Environmental Labels are governed by
ISO 14000 standards.
They are one of the voluntary tools of environmental management
designed to communicate the environmental performance of products or
services.
3 types of labels are available:
I. ISO 14024: Product labels with third-party certification which can be
obtained only if required principles and procedures are followed. Example:
ECOLABEL (EU) and other similar labels at the national level.
II. ISO14021: Self-declared environmental claims made by the producers or
distributors/importers of the products for which no third-party certification is
required.
III. ISO14025: Environmental labels carrying information associated with well-
defined indicators that quantify the full life-cycle environmental
impact of the product (LCA). They must be verified and accredited
by a third party and submitted in a standard format so as to be
comparable (EPD).
THE ENVIRONMENTAL LABELS (“Green Labels”):
the ISO Standards
12. The RadiciGroup Environmental Labels project is
based on Type III Environmental Declarations
(ISO14025) and pursues the following objective:
How to proceed to achieve this purpose?
– We need calculation rules for the LCA and the
presentation format of EPD, i.e. we need
– If are not available for the products of interest, we have
to write them!

PCR - (Product Category Rules)
14. The first step was the choice of an organization, recognized by ISO
at an international level, to which to submit our PCRs (Program
Operator): The International EPD® System
http://www.environdec.com
The production chain PCR project started in June 2012.
Two workgroups have focused on the project:
From the production of polymer (in its various forms) to man-made
fibres (yarns and staple) to recycling processes.
Work ended on Dec. 2012 and 3 PCRs were presented for
discussion to the EPD® System Technical Committee.
The approval and the publication by EPD® System completed
this year ( Apr. – July).

• EPD – it makes sense in order to:
– Compare environmental performances.
– Reflect continuous environmental improvement.
– Communicate environmental performance.
– Provide reliable LCA data based on the principles of
international ISO standards.
