Environmental Policy
With accelerated climate change and global CO2 emissions climbing, we believe it is the
responsibility of every company to preserve Earth’s natural resources wherever possible.
While it would be unrealistic to expect businesses to stop producing paper, we can take steps to
ensure that this paper output is kept to a minimum. We pride ourselves on providing solutions that
will drastically reduce consumable wastage and CO2 emissions in the following ways:
-
Reduction in overall print volume: the machines only output what is needed so that
the printer does not waste toner and paper
-
Reduction in consumables: because the machines only output as required, toner
levels remain higher for longer so are ordered less frequently. Paper is not wasted on uncollected
print jobs, so the company can order less paper.
-
Reduction of output to landfill: in addition to the points above, using machines
that are more toner efficient will naturally result in less used toner cartridges ending up in
landfill.
-
Reduction of production of hazardous waste: machines that use longer life
consumables result in less hazardous waste going to landfill.
-
Reduction in paper output: setting print to duplex as the default mode can save
the average company around 3 tonnes of paper a year, which equates to 64 trees.
-
Reduction in energy consumption: machines can be set to power down when not in
use, while still retaining their quick start-up time. Canon MFPs adhere to current
environmental standards, with low warm up times, low energy consumption and automatic sleep mode
when not in use. Furthermore, they also comply with RoHS EU directives and carry an
Energy Star rating.
-
Reduction in toner usage: setting the print quality to draft can
significantly reduce your toner usage. You can also use the
ecofont, which
is a free font that because of its unique design uses 20% less toner than standard fonts.
Waste Toner Recycling
Technically
the customer is classified as the 'Waste Producer' and all spare parts and consumable items are the
property of the customer, even in a lease arrangement. However, this does not mean that Concept
Group do not treat this issue seriously as we understand that we all play a part in protecting the
environment. Concept are passionate about meeting and exceeding our customers expectations and
offer a unique service for the collection, separation and recycling of old toner cartridges, waste
toner containers and the waste toner itself. We have set-up a very simple and cost effective
service which lets customers meet their obligations and helps us to contribute to the
best recycling practices. Concept have teamed up with a fully licenced waste processor who has
demonstrated to us that they meet all the legislative requirements of WEEE (Waste Electrical and
Electronic Equipment).
Such solutions can help towards maintaining compliance with ISO standard 14001:2004 as part
of a broader company policy
