Kyocera's Commitment to Sustainability

At Kyocera, sustainability isn’t just a goal—it’s a core principle that drives every aspect of our business. From innovative technologies and designs to eco-conscious manufacturing practices, we are dedicated to reducing the environmental impact of our business and for our customers. Here’s how Kyocera is making a difference:

​Long-Life Components

Our products are designed to stand the test of time. By incorporating long-life components, Kyocera ensures that our devices deliver exceptional performance while minimising waste. Durable parts mean fewer replacements, reducing waste to landfills and extending the lifecycle of our products for a more sustainable future.

A range of our devices also feature an a-Si (amorphous silicon) photosensitive drum. This long-life and highly durable component changes the role of the photoreceptor drum from a consumable to a component that achieves an industry-leading lifespan of 600,000 pages. This results in fewer replacement parts over the life of the product and in turn, a lower long-term running cost.​








Patented ECOSYS Technology

Kyocera’s patented ECOSYS technology revolutionises the way printers’ function. Designed with a toner-only cartridge system, this green thinking eliminates the need to replace other components every time you replace your toner. This improved design feature significantly decreases the number of consumable parts that may end up in a landfill during a device's lifetime.

Award-Winning Packaging

Kyocera’s sustainability efforts extend beyond the design of our products to include the way they are delivered. Kyocera’s award-winning packaging uses less materials that are easily recycled. In fact, we have reduced the number of materials used for packaging by 30% while still ensuring that our products arrive safely and securely. Environmental benefits are also achieved by reducing the packaging size and weight of delivery boxes to lessen transportation emissions. These small changes make a big difference and our packaging has received the of WorldStar Packaging Awards for three consecutive years (2023, 2024 and 2025), a testament to our commitment to eco-friendly design.  ​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Prin​tReleaf Partnership

Kyocera is proud to partner with PrintReleaf, an innovative program that offsets paper usage through certified reforestation projects around the world. See how Kyocera and our customers are making a difference through PrintReleaf​.




At Kyocera, sustainability is more than a buzzword—it’s a commitment to creating a better world. By choosing Kyocera, you’re not only investing in innovative technology but also joining us on our journey toward a more sustainable future.


Manufacturing Plants Powered by Solar Energy

By harnessing the power of the sun through solar power, Kyocera’s plants are significantly reducing carbon emissions produced during the manufacturing process of our print devices. With the installation of solar panels at our Vietnam plant, Kyocera is expected to reduce CO2 emissions by 4,210 tons per year. We have even utilised solar power at our headquarters in Kyoto and transitioned to 100% renewable electricity in October 2024, further reducing CO2 emissions by approximately 2,000 tons annually.​

Energy-Saving Design

Kyocera prioritises energy efficiency in every stage of our product development. Our devices are equipped with advanced energy-saving features that not only help customers reduce operational costs, but also significantly minimise their environmental footprint. Even our eco-friendly toner features a lower melting point that further decreases energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions.

Kyocera’s efforts have been recognised with the International Energy Star logo​ for excellence in energy-efficient design. This achievement underscores our leadership in driving sustainable practices across the design and product range. By using components that consume less power without compromising performance, Kyocera’s products ensure an optimal balance between functionality and environmental responsibility.

Close-the-Loop Recycling

Kyocera’s commitment to sustainability doesn’t end at the point of sale. Through our Close-The-Loop recycling program​, we ensure that used toner consumables are responsibly recycled. Customers can return used toner cartridges which are then broken down, sorted, and reintegrated into sustainable projects such as TonerPlas® - an innovative asphalt additive that improves the durability properties of asphalt. To date, this initiative has helped recycle millions of cartridges globally, saving thousands of tons of plastic and metal from ending up in landfills. ​​
