Canon, world leader in imaging solutions, revealed that the company has won the prominent People's Choice Award for its toner cartridge recycling program at The Circulars 2016.

The Circulars is a yearly awards program and initiative of the Young Global Leaders of the World Economic Forum in collaboration with Accenture. It intends to acknowledge individuals and organisations from commerce and civil society around the world that have actually made a significant contribution to driving circular economy principles-- where development does not depend upon using limited natural resources.

The awards ceremony happened in Davos, Switzerland. Canon was presented with the accolade, elected by the public, to recognise Canon as an organisation that shows circular economy leadership through its ingenious closed loop recycling system for cartridges.

"We are delighted that our recycling program has been acknowledged in these respected awards which Canon's circular strategy is providing excellent value and development," commented David Bateson, Senior Vice President of Legal, IP and Sustainability, Canon Europe. "In 1990, Canon ended up being the very first business to introduce a global recycling programme for toner cartridges and we now operate this programme in 24 nations worldwide. This programme is simply one part of our ongoing dedication to sustainability efforts. We are honoured to be chosen by the public to get this People's Choice Award and also grateful to our clients for supporting the programme through their own commitment to recycling.".

In 2015, Canon commemorated the 25th anniversary of its laser toner cartridge recycling programme, developed to minimise using resources whilst allowing clients to attain their high quality printing requirements. The program, which is free for clients, has actually recycled more than 344,000 tonnes of cartridges internationally, saving over 502,000 tonnes of CO2, since it introduced. In 2014, Canon also launched a brand-new recycling plant in Japan that has helped improve arranging ability and allowed 50 % higher processing capacity.
