The total amount of disposable materials is reduced by optimising waste collection, separation, re-use and recycling, and by minimising waste generation in our processes. All waste is disposed of in an environmentally responsible way. We take measures to reduce emissions of organic solvent vapours - which contribute to the formation of photochemical smog and constitute a public health hazard - by optimising manufacturing processes.
Océ has eliminated the use of ozone-layer-depleting substances, CFCs and halons in its products and manufacturing processes.
