To reduce the environmental impact of its products effectively, Ricoh developed RICO2RET (Ricoh CO2 Reduction & Evaluation Tool) to calculate the CO2 emitted during the manufacturing process of parts. With this tool, the amount of CO2 emission can be obtained by process to manufacture one single unit of a part or by facility used for processing, by simply entering the required information, such as the type and quantity of parts materials or manufacturing supplies, and the amount of energy consumed by the use of production equipment, air conditioners and lighting fixtures.
The tool is of great help in reducing environmental impact during a parts manufacturing process in an efficient manner, because its graphically presented calculation results explicitly highlight which process is a large CO2 emitter. To ensure the tool will help reduce environmental impact during part manufacturing, we update the base unit for the calculation from time to time in order to maintain data quality.
