Forbes: Epson Brand #1 Sustainable

Featured

Sustainability is important when it comes to businesses. Almost every brand now has discussions based on what could better the environment. However, not every brand is successful with this. If you’ve been keeping up with news lately then you are familiar with the UN’s strategies to solve climate change. The recent COP26 Summit discussed ways they can battle against this ongoing issue and when they aim to do so. It is important as individuals to try to adapt a habit of the three R’s (Reduce, recycling and re-use) until it becomes second nature for us. Although it may not seem like you are making much of a difference, you most certainly are. Here at PremiumCompatibles we value saving the planet by remanufacturing recycled Inks.

On the topic of recent events and sustainability, Epson was listed as the number 1 best company for this. They discussed their vision for the brand within 10 years and concluded with an outcome of staying committed to contribute more to the environment so that it can create a more sustainable value.

Gas Emissions

As well as creating many printers to print with, their campaign with National Geographic ‘Turn down the Heat’ was a huge success. Epson created Heat-Free technology, which uses up to 94% less power and energy than other laser printers. You may think… “It can’t get any better than that!” well RE100 is a global initiative that brings influential businesses together to commit to renewable electricity. They have global operations with their members and work from manufacturing to fashion and pharmaceuticals. Epson has recently just joined RE100.  RE100 has already driven a lot of renewable electricity for a medium sized country. An already successful brand joining an organisation that has accomplished their own success story, makes Epson even more admirable than it already is.

Epson also announced that by 2023 they’ll meet their electricity needs through all their worldwide group sites. This is to create 100% renewable energy sources. In the US alone, Fossil fuel-generated electricity causes 27% of all greenhouse gas emission (CO2, Nitrous Oxide, Methane etc). Epson’s vision along with other brands introducing this will eventually put an end to the production of greenhouse gases.

‘Remanufacturing’ preserves the entire form of a product, in our case – our Inks and our toners. Whereas recycling involves the product being broken down into its component parts and melting or reprocessing them into new forms. All our products here are the best quality compatibles in the industry as well as being environmentally cautious and friendly.
