New recycling programme demonstrates EpsonR’s Commitment To A Greener Future For Office Printing
Environmentally
conscious printer manufacturer, Epson is extending its current
collection programme by launching a toner cartridge Return&Recycle
programme as part of its ongoing commitment to offer greener printing
solutions to its customers. This new toner cartridge return and
recycling scheme will ensure users of all Epson laser printers are able
to reduce their impact on the environment.Mark Karsey, Business Manager
at Epson UK commented, “Epson has demonstrated a clear commitment to
reducing its impact on the environment for many years now, and the new
toner cartridge Return&Recycle programme is another example of our
global focus on sustainability.”Epson has demonstrated a clear
commitment to reducing its impact on the environment for many years
now, and the new toner cartridge Return&Recycle programme” Mark
Karsey, Epson“This new scheme complements our existing toner cartridge
collection programme, in which we aim to take complete ownership of
toner cartridge recycling on behalf of our customers; helping
organisations to reduce landfill waste without any additional service
cost or hassle for them.”The new programme caters for
organisations of all sizes by offering two different options, both of
which are free for the customer to use, in order to make the process as
easy and efficient as possible.Large organisations can visit the Epson
website to order a reusable branded recycle-box made from recycled
materials, which can hold up to 30 laser toner cartridges. Empty toner
cartridges are placed in the box, and once it is full, offices simply
contact Epson via the Epson website and the recycle box will be
collected. Smaller organisations can use a free-of-charge postal
service; quickly downloading a barcode label from the Epson website
then simply sticking it onto the toner box before posting. Epson takes
care of all postage costs.Epson’s toner cartridges are manufactured
using fully recyclable materials. The collected cartridges are
transported efficiently to the European recycling hub where the
components are recycled, ensuring optimal re use of all the different
materials.Mark Karsey continued, “Aside from reducing waste, the use of
recycled materials can cut the energy required during the manufacturing
process, reducing the carbon footprint of products that are
manufactured from the cartridge materials in the future.”In
addition to the Return&Recycle programme, all Epson UK customers
using the new AL-M2000 series laser printers are being offered an
additional incentive to engage in the Return&Recycle programme.
They can benefit from a significant discount on the retail price of
AL-M2000 toner cartridges. The discounted cartridges contain a
clearly-marked legal agreement on the packaging, meaning that once the
seal of the product packaging is broken, the user has committed to
return the cartridge into Epson’s recycling programme when empty. Those
who do not wish to partake in the programme can still purchase
non-discounted cartridges at the full retail price.Mark Karsey
concluded “By providing a financial incentive for customers looking to
recycle their cartridges, we are actively rewarding those users that
share our ambition to reduce landfill waste.
