Collection and Recycling of Used Products
"Used products are not wastes but precious resources" in RISO's view. We thus maintain a recycling system whereby we collect used printers or empty ink bottles, in a concerted move toward a recycle-oriented society.

RISO does everything possible to reuse products and components. Some components are collected for reuse and their consumables are replaced at the RISO Parts Center. They are then used again in the market after undergoing quality testing.
Material Recycling of Ink Bottles and Ink Cartridges
RISO collects used empty ink bottles and ink cartridges from users in Japan for material recycling* or thermal recycling, to effectively utilize resources.
