Adhering
to
Canon’s
corporate
philosophy
of
“Kyosei”,
Canon
Hong
Kong
has
spared
no
effort
to
promote
environmental
conservation
and
injected
green
elements
into
different
kinds
of
corporate
activities.
Since
the
launch
of
“Ink
Cartridge
Recycling
Program”
in
2009,
Canon
Hong
Kong
has
invited
the
beloved
local
cartoon
character,
McDull,
to
serve
as
the
program
ambassador.
With
the
ambition
of
cultivating
the
environmental
awareness
of
the
next
generation,
the
program
was
extended
to
the
education
sector
in
2011,
calling
on
support
from
primary
and
secondary
schools
in
the
annual
competition.
Now
in
its
14th
year,
the
program
has
received
overwhelming
responses
from
more
than
300
organizations,
housing
estates,
shopping
malls,
supermarkets
and
schools,
all
helping
to
set
up
recycling
boxes
to
encourage
the
public
to
recycle
used
inkjet
printer
cartridges
(all
brands
are
welcome).
To
deepen
students’
understanding
and
engagement
with
environmental
issues,
Canon
Hong
Kong
has
organized
over
200
environmental
seminars
for
participating
schools,
reaching
over
70,000
students
with
messages
about
recycling
and
sustainable
development.
As
of
June
2025,
over
285,000
ink
cartridges
were
collected.
The
recycled
ink
cartridges
were
dismantled,
while
the
metals
and
plastics
were
being
recycled
into
raw
materials
for
other
products.
In the welcome speech at the ceremony, Mr. Gary Lee, President and CEO of Canon Hong Kong, affirmed the winning schools for their exemplar dedication in promoting recycling. A total of 10 schools were recognized in the aspect of “Highest No. of Recycled Ink Cartridges” and “Highest No. of Recycled Ink Cartridges Per Head” respectively. Mr. Gary Lee expressed gratitude for the enthusiasm and active support from the academic sector. He emphasized the importance of promoting environmental protection to the young generation from an early age and urged schools to build a better and sustainable society together by continuously responding to green initiatives.
After the ceremony, Canon Hong Kong arranged a “Imaging for Fun” workshop for the students. The interactive experience combining photography and printing allowed the students to learn the basic photography skills, capture creative images and print their work on-site. This helped them to discover the joy of visual storytelling while extending environmental education to creative learning. Canon Image Square guided tour was also prepared for teachers and parents, where they explored Canon’s latest imaging technologies and creative applications. These two activities added a joyful and lively atmosphere, bringing the award ceremony to a successful and memorable close.
