Fuji Xerox takes responsibility for all end-of-life products and remanufactures or recycles them to achieve more than 99 per cent resource recovery. When developing new products, the company incorporates policies for future remanufacturing and recycling into the design process. As a result, they have avoided almost 139,000 tonnes of carbon emissions and reduced the requirements for raw materials by 22,600 tonnes between 1996 and 2008.
The 2010 award is made from recycled materials central to Melbourne’s heritage.
The upright fronds are made from window surrounds, sun screen shutters and doorway bulkheads of a W Class tram. The timber has been salvaged from a damaged tram that has been used over time as a source of parts to ensure the W Class stays on the tracks.
The timber base has been saved from the Princes Pier restoration in Port Melbourne. The Princes Pier is one of Melbourne’s most important waterfront locations, playing a key role for Australia in the first and second World Wars.
The award plaques are made from salvaged brass offcuts. The Award is housed in a
recycled paperboard case.
