Letter To Canon

Quick background knowledge on Canon:
Canon is a company that does mostly Cameras, Printers, and Supplies for these kinds of equipment. This company was founded on Aug. 10. 1937. The headquarters of Canon are located in Japan. The chairman and CEO is Fujio Mitarai.
To start going green Canon is going green by recycling products, making them recycling, reusing toner cartridges and making them into completely new products. They are also doing recycling activities to help people get more involved.
Canon was started in Japan.
Hello,
I am a student who did a project on the packaging of different products. I looked at your cartridges that are made to "fuel" the printers. While looking at your package I found that there are many layers and non-recyclable materials. Maybe corrugated cardboard would be better because this would allow the cardboard would be able to be recycled. I also think maybe making the packaging smaller with less plastic might be a possibility as well. Aside from the negative aspects of your company, I think that the steps your company is taking to make it more environmentally friendly are very impressive and I did not expect that. I thank you for taking the steps to going green. Going back to the negative side I would like to ask a question. Is it necessary to have so much paper for instruction in so many different languages? As a consumer I have to admit that I rarely will read the instructions and if you have a picture that is all you truly need. I was wondering if there are any other steps you will be willing to take in terms of helping the environment. I have another question where do you make most of the products and from where are the materials supplied from? Also around how many cartridges do you make in a year? I hope you write back and maybe listen to some of the tips that I included in this letter.
Sincerely,
Maria- 7th grade
