Last Updated on June 16, 2020 by Christian Ralph

In the modern era, the impetus for businesses to ‘go green’ is stronger than ever.

Companies are now taking issues like climate change seriously, often making the small changes they can to benefit the environment.

However, reducing your carbon footprint and creating a greener workplace isn’t an overnight job. It’s a continuous task that requires dedication from everyone involved in your workplace.

Electronics are one of the biggest issues when it comes to tackling environmental issues, but luckily there are different pieces of office equipment that have been invented not only to support your company with day-to-day tasks, but with the added benefit of saving energy and reducing waste.

Step forward the Kyocera ECOSYS series of multifunction printers, which are among the most environmentally-friendly models on the market.

Read on to discover how this range can benefit your business:

Kyocera ECOSYS technology

ECOSYS stands for ECOlogy, ECOnomy and SYStem-printing. With long-life parts, Kyocera’s range of devices are designed for maximum durability and minimise the total cost of ownership regarding maintenance and consumables.

These devices offer reliability and fast output speeds, equipped with convenient touch panels and easy cross-network compatibility, making them perfect for any office.

Longer life

The mere design of a Kyocera ECOSYS multifunction printer makes it greener than any other device, as it boasts incredibly durable components which allows it to operate for longer.

One environmentally beneficial feature of each ECOSYS Kyocera printer is that they have a built-in drum which contains tiny ceramic particles. These particles play a vital role as they continue to polish the drum during printing.

This aids each printer as it allows them to stay functional for longer, meaning that less replacement parts are required.

Their robust components make these Kyocera printers one of the most efficient and reliable devices on the market today.

With fewer parts needing to be replaced and less often, this means that there’s a reduction in the amount of waste produced, cutting the total cost of ownership considerably.

Energy-saving

Due to the cartridge free-system installed on each device, consumers can save up to 85% on energy costs during the printer’s lifetime.

As well as saving energy, businesses can further benefit as less money is spent on consumables.

The cartridge free-system means Kyocera toner is the only consumable needed for the first 200,000 pages.

In conventional printers, when the toner has finished, you would replace the entire imaging cartridge, which contains a drum, developer and the toner. However, with the ECOSYS models, the drum is separate from the toner, so there’s no need to replace everything, thus saving more money.

Minimal environmental impact

Kyocera ECOSYS printers, such as the M8124cidn model, are designed specifically to have as small an impact on the environment as possible.

They are manufactured with a life-long technology to ensure that CO2 omissions and waste are minimised.

Paper saving

Another positive from both a financial and ‘green’ perspective is that this series come with a duplex printing function, enabling you to print on both sides. This means you can use less paper over time, resulting in less waste.

In fact, it’s believed that the average UK office worker wastes 6,800 sheets of paper each year, consuming the equivalent of 4.48 trees, reinforcing the importance to put an end to this issue.

Toner takeback scheme

Kyocera have a toner takeback scheme, that allows toners at the end of their life to be recycled, as they only contain five different components and two different materials, making the process simple.

Are you looking to reduce your business’ carbon footprint? A Kyocera multifunction printer could be the ideal choice for you.
