Canon toner products satisfy the RoHS Directive in the European Union (EU), even though toner products are
out of scope in the RoHS Directive. This indicates that Canon copier toner and packages eliminate hazardous substances (for example:
Lead, Cadmium, Mercury, Hexavalent Chromium, PBBs, & PBDEs). Therefore, Canon copier output is free of these hazardous substances.
Canon designs toner bottles in order to reduce plastic material.
This contributes an average of 16% less weight per copy
in 2005 than in 1995.
Canon reuses plastic chips which are generated in the production processes and test procedures, which decreases the amount
of waste.

Canon uses recycled paper for the production of their cardboard boxes.
For some items, new cushions have been introduced. These cushions contribute to 30% smaller than Canon’s average
consumable packaging, so that transportation efficiency is increased.
