Epson has won this year’s DataMaster Lab GREEN Award in recognition of the environmental benefits afforded by all its inkjet printers and MFPs, powered by PrecisionCore Heat-Free technology, and the sustainability measures employed as part of their development, production and distribution.
DataMaster is an independent European laboratory, that analysed Epson MFPs with PrecisionCore Heat-Free technology and found them to have low energy consumption, long consumable lifetimes and their small carbon footprint.
“Aligning with Epson’s dedication to developing sustainable technologies, DataMaster Lab recognises the importance of decreasing energy use to reduce the adverse effects on the environment,” said Elliot Williams, director of product management, Business Imaging, Epson America, Inc. “Our MFPs engineered with PrecisionCore Heat-Free technology provide positive benefits. The WorkForce Enterprise line-up offers the lowest power consumption in their class and fast printing speeds with practically no warm-up time. Requiring minimal intervention with few maintenance parts, it is designed to help minimise waste.”
This Award is not just about electrical consumption. Edward Bilson, Technical Director of DataMaster Lab said, “We take into account accreditations for manufacturing facilities, levels of noxious emissions – and the nature and lifetime of a machine’s consumables. When you consider the carbon footprint of a consumable item’s manufacture, transportation, distribution, and its final resting place in a landfill site, you realize that all consumables need to be designed with the environment in mind and have the longest lifetime possible. The winners of DataMaster Lab’s GREEN Award have the least impact on our precious environment.”
