Kyocera’s solution to unlocking business and environmental sustainability
The urgency to address global warming and protect the environment is more evident than ever. At Kyocera, we believe that taking proactive steps towards sustainability is not just a responsibility, but an opportunity to unlock business growth and contribute to a better future for generations to come.
In today's world, customers are savvy and demand sustainability and environmental action from the companies they choose to partner with, so the pressure is on companies to go green or go extinct.
Kyocera has long understood that survival of our planet relies on a collaborative effort between humans and technology. By prioritising the environment, forward-thinking businesses can seize growth opportunities while empowering their customers to reduce their carbon footprint. It's a win-win situation for businesses and our precious environment.
One of our key breakthroughs is the patented energy-saving iToner, introduced in 2020. By requiring a lower melting point compared to most brands, the iToner reduces energy consumption during the printing process, while maintaining image quality and stability. In fact, this groundbreaking technology has halved the typical energy consumption of our printers and multi-function printers (MFPs). We're proud to lead the industry in delivering energy-efficient printing solutions.
In addition to the iToner, we have made significant advancements in other areas:
Energy-saving Ink: Our TASKalfa Pro 15000c production inkjet printer utilises proprietary water-based pigment inks that penetrates into paper and dries quickly after printing. These properties significantly reduce electricity consumption during the image fixation process.
Energy-saving Controller: Our TASKalfa 2554ci/3554ci A3 colour MFPs are equipped with an energy-saving controller that minimises standby power and reduces the time it takes to return from sleep mode. With this innovation, we have achieved the industry's highest energy-saving performance, ensuring low standby power consumption without compromising usability and productivity.
Titanium dioxide-free toners: Recognising the need for stricter environmental standards, we have committed to eliminating titanium dioxide (TiO2) from all our toners by Q1 2024. This change demonstrates our dedication to producing environmentally friendly products that surpass legislative and industry regulations.
Kyocera has always embraced a philosophy of coexistence with society, the global community, and nature. Our commitment to minimising the environmental impact of our products is unwavering. Our innovative solutions are designed to minimise paper usage and maximise productivity through efficient digital document management and storage. We also adopt a science-backed approach to ongoing technology development and sustainability investment to further reduce energy consumption and environmental impact. Our high-quality products and solutions are designed to maximise performance and improve productivity for our partners and customers.
By choosing Kyocera as your business partner, you align your brand with quality and environmental sustainability. Together, we can create a greener future while driving growth and success.
Join us in our mission to continue to unlock the potential of sustainable solutions for a better tomorrow.
