Ahead of the 2021 United Nations Climate Change Conference in Glasgow, Ninestar has reviewed its activities towards sustainability.
Ninestar installed 12,000 square meters of solar panels at their factory buildings in Zhuhai in 2018. This is equal to the planting 1,200,000 trees. In optimum conditions, up to 300,000 kW of photovoltaic power can be generated each month, accounting for almost 10% of the total electricity consumption needs.
According to the World Wildlife Fund for Nature (WWF) the installation of a 1kW solar panel system can generate 1,200 kwh of electricity per year. At the same time 400kgs of coal are saved and CO2 emissions are reduced by about one ton. By installing a one square meter solar panel, it is similar to planting 100 square meters of trees.
Ninestar said it has been concerned about the environment since it commenced operations back in 2000. Its G&G “Going Green” campaign has seen the company recycle and remanufacture cartridges all of that time. It has recently implemented a free and environmentally responsible way to collect empty ink cartridges from end-users for recycling and reuse. At the same time, Ninestar’s advanced sewage treatment station turns water contaminated by inks during the cartridge cleaning process, into clean water.
Ninestar explained that its new printer industrial park in nearby Gaolan, which is under construction, will be able to generate 9.63 million kW of electricity per year. This will save more than 3,210 tons of coal and will reduce carbon emissions by 8,346 tons.
The company concluded: “Being the only joint OEM and aftermarket company in the printer and imaging supplies industry in the world, Ninestar considers it has the responsibility to raise the standard when it comes to making a “green” effort, promoting social responsibility, and diminishing carbon emissions. Ninestar is committed to its “going green” strategy, and for the adoption of clean energy on a large scale. “
