Sustainable product design and lifecycle management

When right-sizing your print fleet, you need to ensure your devices align with your organisation’s ESG goals. Our print devices are manufactured and shipped with packaging which uses post-consumer recycled plastic and are designed to be recycled at their end-of-life. This means we’re actively minimizing the use of virgin materials and reducing waste. Let’s work together to support circular economies and reach your sustainability goals with your print infrastructure.
