Epson’s Environmental Awareness and Eco-Printing!

Featured

Posted on by

As many people may know, printing has historically not been the friendliest to Earth’s environment. However, in recent years, the attention given to our planet’s environment has largely increased like never before and affected the printing industry, as well as other industries. More and more companies and businesses are changing into sustainable, eco-friendly firms. New tactics and ways are being used all the time to make even a small difference and reverse the effects climate change has on our environment, as well as obeying new laws and regulations introduced to help the climate (such as Environmental Laws in the EU).

Pollution

These changes made by companies are not for nothing. Not only does it save the environment, but can also save quite a bit of money. One huge printing company which brings attention to the environmental issues and is forming into a sustainable and Carbon Neutral business is Epson. The Japanese company is in the lead when it comes to its eco-transformation. Epson aims to be carbon negative and “underground resource-free” by 2050, which means that resources harmful to the environment will not be used in manufacturing processes. Epson also has other initiatives to support the environment. The Company is extremely committed to its environmental goals. They manage to find new ways to form their company to suit the environment while keeping prices affordable and users happy!

Environmentally Friendly Eco-Products

Epson’s 2050 milestone is a huge contribution towards the environment. There is another step they want to take before that, though. By 2030 Epson aims to invest around £600 million into changes in the company to aid the environment.

ETIRA Reaching 1 Million Environment-focused Labels

Featured

Posted on by

The European Toner and Inkjet Remanufacturers Association (ETIRA) has introduced its own product certification label last year and now approaches the milestone of 1,000,000 certification mark labels in circulation. These differentiated labels help customers identify more environmentally friendly printing cartridges.

80-90% of Trashed Printing Products could be used again more than once. ETIRA aims to Remanufacture as much as possible.

ETIRA aims to promote the reuse of printing products and raise the profiles of ETIRA-member remanufacturer products. ETIRA labels will provide a better understanding to customers about which products offer the best environmental performance, which will allow people to recognise and differentiate them from other cartridges that have a larger carbon footprint.

According to research conducted by ETIRA, up to 70% in Europe of empty toner and inkjet cartridges are incinerated or dumped in landfills every year. 80-90% of these trashed products could have been used again more than once. More than 500 million plastic printer cartridges end up thrown away in landfills around the world. Remanufacturing these cartridges can decrease their carbon footprint by 45-60%. Remanufactured cartridges are also cheaper by 30% than OEM Products, making it both cost-effective and environmentally friendly to reuse cartridges.

ETIRA Benefits

The ETIRA label brings many benefits to their members. ETIRA members make their mark on the circular economy with industry leaders around Europe. The label also assures that cartridges went through the remanufacturing process at a high standard and eventually back on the market.

Currently, the ETIRA label is only available to members through a qualification process and license agreement. This means that the remanufacturer will be able to add the certification mark to any brand cartridge they’ve produced for a third party (if the remanufactured product meet the license requirements).

Plastic Usage in GM Technology

Featured

Posted on by

GM Technology, the Global Leader of Refurbished Photocopiers and Toner Cartridges, has stopped the use of plastic bags in the packaging of their remanufactured toner cartridges. The old plastic packaging is replaced with new bags made of only environmentally friendly products. The new packaging is made of biodegradable film and recyclable brown Kraft Paper. The transparent part of the bags is made of vegetable cellulose instead of plastic.

Recycle Plastic

GM Technology predicts that they will save 10,000 plastic bags a week with this upgrade, making the remanufactured toners even more environmentally friendly.

 Though the change may seem quite small, the smart decision to reduce the amount of plastic used by GM Technology has an incredibly positive impact on the environment.

More and more companies are focusing on their environmental impact in as much detail as possible. Recycling and a more ecological approach is being taken. Plastic use is decreasing in many companies – both on a large and small scale. Whether its avoiding plastic bags or separating recycling and general waste, the awareness of the effect we have on the environment is increasing and being taken into account by companies.

Forbes: Epson Brand #1 Sustainable

Featured

Posted on by

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.
