The journey of our QuickSnap™ cameras doesn't stop when you drop off your camera at your local lab. ♻️
Empty cameras are sent to the Fujifilm Recycling Collection Center in Greenwood, South Carolina where our team then takes each unit apart, separates key elements, and gives them new life. So which part of the camera do we recycle?
🔋Battery: Our disassembly machine automatically removes the battery from each QuickSnap™ one-time use camera and places it in a bulk container. Full containers of batteries are then sent to steel reclamation for recycling
🔍 Lens: Any lens that is not reused in a mechanical unit is sent out so the material can be recycled for other purposes
♻️ Front Body, Main Body & Rear Body: The front body, main body and rear body are automatically removed from the camera and placed on a conveyor going to the crusher. The crushed plastic material is heated and extruded to make new plastic pellets for crafting new parts for future QuickSnap™
That's just one way, Fujifilm is ensuring that everything comes back around! 🌎
