Fuji greening up in Greenwood

Fujifilm Corp. today announced that its primary U.S. manufacturing complex, located in Greenwood, S.C., began using methane gas from a local community landfill to power approximately 40 percent of its operations. Company officials joined local government leaders and guests to celebrate the project’s completion at the Greenwood County Landfill. Fuji first announced that it would begin taking steps to reduce greenhouse emissions at its facilities worldwide in 2007 (see News & Tech, September 2007). In the United States, the company aims to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 15 percent by 2012.
