Lexmark Environmental Report Progress in 2007
OAKLAND,
Calif. –Lexmark, is working on recycling more and throwing away less.
In its “2007 Environmental Sustainability Report” Lexmark overviews its
environmental programs and some of the progress it’s made.Last
year, the company recycled 49 percent of its non-hazardous waste, sent
21 percent of it to landfills, incinerated 10 percent of it without
recovering energy and incinerated one percent with energy recovered.
Among non-hazardous waste, 49 percent was recycled, 17 percent sent to
landfills, 30 percent incinerated with energy recovered and four
percent incinerated without energy recovery.The printer maker reuses or
recycles all of the parts of ink cartridges that it collects, and last
year started a cartridge recycling promotion in Puerto Rico that
provides a $2 discount on new cartridges for each cartridge that is
returned.Lexmark has also removed all PVC from inkjet cartridge
packaging, replacing it with paperboard and PET or HDPE plastic, and is
researching materials to increase the amount of recycled content in
products.
