About Recycling
Source: Environmental Protection Agency, Solid Waste Management Hierarchy, February 26, 2008 http://www.epa.gov/garbage/faq.htm#1
The above Solid Waste Management Hierarchy pyramid explains the favored ways of addressing solid waste. At the top of the pyramid (tier one) is reuse of an item, which helps reduce the amount of waste consumed. Tier two is recycling. Waste that cannot be reused or recycled can be combusted for energy recovery (tier three). Landfills (tier four) or incineration without energy recovery is found at the bottom of the pyramid and is not favored.
As you read this brochure, you will learn about Canon’s Aftermarket Products Programs and we will indicate which tier each of these programs falls into on the Solid Waste Management Hierarchy.
