Advancing Circular Economy Initiatives

Guided by Ricoh’s Comet Circle™ circular economy concept, Ricoh China has embedded sustainability across the full product lifecycle. In 2025, the company launched an Eco-Renewed Machines programme, remanufacturing pre-owned devices to factory standards — reducing electronic waste and carbon impact while delivering customer cost savings. Ricoh China also introduced the IM C7010 series A3 colour multifunction printer — designed to the highest environmental standards, with full lifecycle carbon management verified by TÜV SÜD and approximately 50% of main unit resin materials sourced from recycled plastics.

Leveraging Technology for Social Impact

Alongside its environmental initiatives, Ricoh China is using technology to support broader social outcomes.

Its R-Planet Carbon Incentive Platform encourages employees, customers and partners to adopt low-carbon behaviours, extending sustainability efforts throughout the value chain.

The company has also partnered with leading recruitment platform Liepin to launch Shanghai's first AI Job Booth, providing job seekers with a private, AI-enabled interview environment and intelligent job-matching capabilities designed to improve accessibility and employment opportunities.;
