Fujifilm proved from 1 April, 2023 to 31 March, 2024 that in addition to sending zero waste to landfill, it achieved a recycling rate of 53.64%. In addition to increasing the amount of waste being recycled, Fujifilm also reduced the overall waste being produced. “We are honoured to receive ‘Zero to Landfill’ certification from Valpak,” said Paul. “It’s a testament to our team’s dedication to reducing our environmental impact and promoting a circular economy.” Craig Milsted, sustainability advisor at Fujifilm Speciality Ink Systems, Broadstairs,
added: “Looking forward, we are confident that we can continue to make iterative improvements all over the site, across all areas of energy, waste and water reductions, to maintain our position as an award-winning, world-class and sustainable factory.” Bronwynn Harris, waste & resource traceability consultant at Valpak, said the company was “delighted” to certify the site. “The company’s commitment to sustainability and the team’s proactive approach to waste management serve as an exemplary model for other companies to follow,” she added.
Document digitisation brought to SL Environmental
Konica Minolta Business Solutions (UK) Ltd and its managed print partner Paradigm Business Solutions Ltd have delivered SL Environmental Ltd with a document digitalisation solution that addresses its paper document storage needs, while ensuring full data security and rapid retrieval. The nationwide specialist asbestos removal and surveying contractor can generate up to 1,000 document pages for a single project, which the company is required to retain for 40 years. Consequently, the company had accumulated 200 filing cabinets full of paper documentation. To overcome the physical storage and document retrieval challenges faced by SL Environmental, Paradigm recommended Konica Minolta’s bizhub C360i multifunctional print device (MFD) in combination with the Filestar Document Management software, to begin a new process of document digitisation. Today, new documents are scanned and
securely stored in a single cloud-based repository, reducing the need to retain paper. The SL Environmental team can search and retrieve documents in minutes using keywords, tags or metadata, instead of trawling through filing cabinets. “The results have exceeded our expectations, and we are thrilled with the positive impact on our business,” said Sean O’Leary, managing director of SL Environmental. “This has provided us with an approach that perfectly aligns with what we needed, delivering much-needed efficiency and importantly, peace of mind.” Rob Carey, director at Paradigm Business Solutions, added: “Because of its close partnership with Filestar, Konica Minolta’s MFDs are perfectly suited to work with this powerful but easy-to-use software. This is ideal for a business such as SL Environmental where the small team must be time-efficient in effectively processing documentation.”
