RISO KAGAKU CORPORATION endeavors to reduce the environmental burden of its products throughout their entire lifecycle, from design and development to production, distribution, customer use, recycling and disposal.
| RISO's development and design philosophy is to “Create Unique Products.” Over the years, RISO has developed a wide range of products that provide advanced print solutions based on its unique print technology, as typified by the RISOGRPAH System. In addition, RISO is aggressively undertaking R&D activities in new fields, including inkjet technology. Inkjet technology has been applied in the Company’s new line of high-speed color inkjet printers, the ComColor series. Such an aggressive R&D stance has produced tangible results, enabling RISO to develop the latest RISO EZ series digital duplicators with a design that reduces the product’s environmental burden, as well as other environment-friendly products, such as RISO SOYINK. |
| RISO assigns five stages -- from product planning to mass production. In each of these five stages, RISO sets targets for such items as environmental considerations, product quality, costs and schedule. By monitoring the progress of these targets, we make decisions on whether we can proceed to the next stage. Stage targets for environmental considerations include energy and resource saving, reuse, recycling and disposal. |
