Croxley Recycling Establishes Partnership with Ricoh

New Zealand-based ink and toner recycler Croxley Recycling has bagged an agreement with Ricoh New Zealand to enhance its expansion into e-waste.

Under the agreement, Croxley Recycling will collect and recycle all Ricoh e-waste from its dealer network across New Zealand. The e-waste includes discarded computers, office electronic equipment, mobile phones and other electronic devices.

Croxley Managing Director David Lilburne says the e-waste agreement with Ricoh is a significant step for Croxley Recycling. He explains that the timing is “perfect” as Croxley Recycling plans to relocate its recycling plant from the North Shore to Croxley’s new facility in West Auckland.

“The new premises offer significant growth opportunities in terms of process space and allow for increased capital spend. We have just purchased a new shredder, compactor and granulator. This will support our growth plans for 2016 onwards,” Lilburne says.

Charley Peace at Ricoh Sustainability and Communications Champion said, “Product stewardship is a huge part of the sales process for Ricoh and we’re proactive in the way we seek to handle all of our waste. It’s clear that the government will have to make e-waste a priority product as New Zealand has one of the fastest growing waste streams in the world, so we’re just trying to make sure we are compliant and working on the issue. We want to reduce our environmental impact wherever we can and Croxley has offered us a reputably strong way to continue tackling our e-waste strategically”.

Croxley Recycling is an arm of stationery supplier Croxley, a subsidiary of United States-based Office Depot Inc. Growing Croxley Recycling is part of Croxley’s strategic growth plan over the next year, which will see a corporate re-branding and expansion into new product lines in the education sector.
