Ricoh's booth at EPIF 2006
|
In December 2006, Ricoh participated in a general environmental exhibition titled Eco-Products 2006 held at Tokyo Big Sight. Under the theme "The Environment Won't Wait," Ricoh introduced its digital multifunctional full-color copiers, which have a substantially shortened recovery time from energy-saving mode using color QSU technology, and GELJET-type multifunctional color copiers, which drastically cut back on maximum electric power consumption. Ricoh thus presented its state-of-the-art eco-technology and the efforts made by all of its employees to realize sustainable environmental management. In October 2006, Ricoh Asia Pacific Pte. Ltd. and Ricoh (Singapore) Pte. Ltd. participated in the Eco-Products International Fair (EPIF) 2006 held at Suntec Singapore. Energy-saving multifunctional copiers—Aficio MP C1500, C3500/4500, and SP C410DN—and copiers using plant-based plastic were exhibited and the social contribution activities in Singapore that Ricoh is engaged in were introduced at the booth. |
