Collection, Recycling of Used Products, and Reuse of Used Parts

TOSHIBA TEC main branches and branches collect end-of-use retail solution equipment. End-of-use copiers are collected and recycled at nine bases throughout Japan.

Collection & Recycling System for Retail Solution Equipment

As a responsible top innovator of POS systems, TOSHIBA TEC Corporation collects and recycles end-of-use retail solution equipment from its customers.
The collection & recycling system is expanded to Hokkaido, Tohoku, Kanto, Chubu, Kansai, Chugoku & Shikoku, and Kyushu Districts, to conduct full-scale operations in each district. Recycling is implemented, with the aim of manually dismantling collected equipment, separating the equipment into each element and expanding recycling materials.

Collection and Recycling of Copiers

TOSHIBA TEC Corporation collects and recycles end-of-use copiers in cooperation with its customers, TOSHIBA TEC Business Solution Corporation as its distribution source, and TERM CORP. as its recycling firm.
In 1998, collection and recycling of end-of-use copiers started in the Tokyo and Kanagawa regions, and has been expanding its geographic coverage to nine bases throughout Japan. Collected copiers are manually dismantled into each element, in order to facilitate the recycling process. As a result, over 98% of end-of-use copiers collected are recycled.
In addition, by participating in the Recycled Equipment Exchange System within the Japan Business Machine and Information System Industries Association or JBMIA, to increase its product collection efficiency, TOSHIBA TEC Corporation recovers its own end-of-use copiers, which other companies have collected.

Recycling of Portable Secondary Batteries

Rechargeable batteries are used in POS terminals, portable printers and cordless vacuum cleaners. They include nickel-cadmium batteries, nickel-hydrogen batteries and lithium-ion batteries, which use scarce resources including nickel, cadmium or cobalt.
To make effective use of precious resources, they need to be collected and recycled.
TOSHIBA TEC Corporation has joined the "Japan Battery Recycling Center or JBRC" as a corporate member, to collect and recycle these batteries.
In fiscal 2007, approximately 21 tons of portable secondary batteries were collected for recycling. The Ohito Business Center won the second prize at the "Campaign for Collection and Recycling Portable Rechargeable Batteries 2007" sponsored by JBRC and supported by the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry, and received a certificate of appreciation.
