Eco-friendly Products

The Nikon Group conducts the Nikon Product Assessment to develop products with due consideration for the characteristics and environmental impact of Nikon products. This assessment evaluates all newly developed products based on reductions in the weight and volume of products and packaging, reduction of hazardous substances, material commonality, and recyclability at the planning and design stages and the prototype and production stages.
We also operate a certification program under which products developed through product assessments that meet defined criteria are certified as Eco-friendly Products or Super Eco-friendly Products.
