As global trends and national policies move toward sustainable

In the evolving world of print, sustainability has become more than a buzzword—it’s now a central driver. With rising environmental awareness and shifting consumer expectations, ESG (Environmental, Social, Governance) is influencing decisions across boards and branding. Ricoh Vietnam is leading the way by weaving ESG into its core offerings, transforming print into a tool for positive impact.

Current ESG & Print Trends in 2025

1. Sustainability Becomes Standard

Print providers are adopting eco-inks (soy- and water-based), recycled substrates, biodegradable materials, and carbon-neutral workflows.

2. Circular Economy & Refurbished Equipment

Extending product life through repair, remanufacturing, and reuse decreases e‑waste and embeds sustainability into devices and operations.

3. Personalization & On-Demand Printing

Variable data printing (VDP) and custom short runs meet demand for tailored, small-batch solutions with minimal waste

4. Interactive & Smart Printing

Print comes alive with AR, QR codes, NFC tags, and even smart packaging that enhances consumer experience

5. Automation, AI & Digital Workflows

AI-powered print production improves efficiency, reduces errors, and lowers environmental impact.
