Xerox experience: Long history of commitment

Early 1990’s:• Waste Free commitment – remanufacturing strategy• LCA used to prioritize technology & design efforts

First step is defining what to prioritize…

Defining direction

Customers

Regulations

Technology Toner Paper

Examples within the Value Chain

Service

New print technology produces less waste

4000 AMPV, 4 Year Life

Solid Ink Color TechnologyPhaser® Printers for Small–Medium Office

Compared to laser Xerography:

Solid ink sticks eliminate cartridges

and other consumable items

Conserves raw materials

Generates 90% less waste*

Lower operating costs, improved reliability and ease of use

Solid Ink Waste23 lbs

Typical Laser Waste from

1 Printer450 lbs

New Emulsion Aggregation (EA) Toner

40% – 45% less toner mass

Small and Spherical EA Toner

Conventional Toner

Paper

Breakthrough process for producing color and black toners:

Less toner mass per page for smaller toner

Less toner waste for spherical toner

Less energy to produce and to print

Paper

Toner Technology

Toner’s “Secret” AgentGrinding step in conventional toner isMost energy intensive (up to 40% oftotal energy).

Addition of “embrittling” agent (E-agent) makes toner particles easier

togrind.

Reduces overall energy consumptionbetween 15-22% per pound of tonermanufacturing for certain products.

Conventional Toner

Duplex productivity: paper consumption can be reduced by half

Recycled paper reliability: post-consumer content papers run dependably

Sustainably sourced paper

Digital document management: facilitates print-on-demand and distribute-then-print in order to reduce waste

New Xerox High Yield Business Paper

Driving toward sustainable paper-cycle

Services “Greening the Office”

Desired StateCurrent Situation

Legend

• Overabundant/underutilized assets

• Energy inefficiency

• Wasted manufacturing and materials

• Inefficient maintenance

Energy reduction: 27%GHG reduction 26%Waste reduction 33%

Beware of unintended consequences – examples:

Solid ink printing

Remanufacturing/reuse

“Re-writable paper” printing technology

Multifunction technology

Energy Star eliminating grandfatheringRoHS prohibiting reuse

More “use phase” powerMore materials of construction

“Embodied energy” 5X use savingsPremature disposal

Replaces multiple personal & single function devices

More “use phase” powerLifecycle energy equivalent90% less waste

More “use phase” power

Paper reuse saves 4X moreenergy

Trade Secrets & competitiveness REACH?

Key learning from our “journey”Science often not the key variable

Systems thinking critical and will require new approaches

Business impacts can be substantialComplexity & costCompetitiveness & trade barriersProprietary informationInnovation disincentive

(a * public perception) + (b * NGO activity) + (c * Political environment) + (d * geography) + (e * Competition) + (g * customer rqmt) + (h * scientific knowledge) + ….

Y = f

Y=f(x)

Products & services embody the cumulative impact of value chainStandards and regulations tend to be managed on national basisValue chains are globalLCA limitations not generally well understoodCurrent regulatory and eco-label frameworks are overly prescriptive

Market incentive based vs regulated

Incent innovation vs stifle innovation

Science based vs perception based

“System” vs single attribute/phase based

Suggested metrics “design” considerations

Global vs local
