FujiFilm Business Innovation has a long-standing commitment to environmentally responsible product design, innovative print management services, and an end-of-life resource recovery program that sets the standard for the industry.

With decades of research and investment, FujiFilm has pioneered a holistic approach to sustainability, considering the full lifecycle of every product, from responsible parts procurement and ethical supply chains, to advanced development and manufacturing practices, right through to customer use and end-of-life recycling and resource recovery.

This commitment ensures that every solution we deliver at FX Business Technologies Cairns not only boosts business productivity but also supports a cleaner, more sustainable future for North Queensland.

We Recycle our machines

FX Business Technologies Sustainability Recycling Printers

The FujiFilm Business Innovation range of photocopiers, printers, and scanners is recognised for outstanding energy efficiency. In fact, Fuji Xerox pioneered the EA-Eco toner, designed with lower fusing temperatures to significantly cut power consumption while also reducing overall toner usage.

And at FX Business Technologies, we recycle 100% of our machines!

  • When a new machine arrives: 
    The cardboard and polystyrene packaging is sent for recycling.
  • Toner:
    Empty toner cartridges are returned to FujiFilm Business Innovations Australia to be refilled or recycled.
  • Parts:
    Machine Parts are returned to FujiFilm Business Innovations Australia to be repaired or recycled. 
  • When a machine has finished its life:
    Our Qualified Technicians take the machine and remove and reuse any working parts.
    The rest of the machine is given to E-Waste Recycling 

Fujifilm Zero Waste Circulation

We recycle all toner cartridges, drums, and spare parts through the FujiFilm Eco Manufacturing Centre in Sydney, where they are remanufactured and reused in the field. Beyond printing consumables, we also recycle cardboard, pallets, and office paper, keeping valuable resources in circulation and out of landfill.

FX Business Technologies Sustainability Report

Frequently Asked Questions

Earth Smart settings let you quickly set controls that automatically reduce paper waste and toner usage by disabling banner pages, enabling 2-sided (duplex) printing, 2-up printing, and printing a sample set and/or draft mode.

Earth Smart is built into most FX Business Technologies printers and multifunction printers.

Setting Duplex as the automatic default within your printer driver settings will save 50% of paper every time you print! If you want to print even more pages on a sheet of paper, choose the “2-up” or “2 Pages per Sheet” option to print two images on each side of a single sheet.

Choosing the sample copy option before you print multiple copies will only have an output of one sample copy print at the outset. The printer will hold the remaining copies in the queue until after you review and approve the sample copy. Then you can release or delete the remaining copies.

Adjusting the way you print can add up to big savings over time. Below are some eco-responsible adjustments you can make in your print settings to print more efficiently and reduce paper waste:

  • Use the Print Preview, on-screen to view a document before actually printing it
  • Adjust the Page layout options to Portrait or Landscape to allow the best fit for the page
  • Reduce the Margin size to allow for a larger print area
  • Reduce Header and footer sizes to increase the print area
  • Reduce Font size for optimal presentation and best use of space
  • Set print area to only print pertinent information (spreadsheet applications)
  • Automatically turn off banner page printing
