All over the world, the KYOCERA brand has become synonymous with quality, efficiency and environmental friendliness. Many years of continuous investment in research and development has ensured that KYOCERA maintains its reputation and credibility as a company that cares about environmental sustainability.
In doing so for the past 25 years, KYOCERA has consistently incorporated best practices into their manufacturing processes to ensure that all their products meet global environmental standards. In the pursuance of this very important objective, the company implements three main product development strategies, popularly referred to as the 3Rs (Reduce, Reuse, Recycle).
To ensure total compliance, these strategies are implemented right from the beginning of their internal product development processes, from design through to the product testing stage, before they are introduced onto the market. Areas where products undergo strict assessment, include reduction in number of parts, reduction in product weight, the use of recycled plastic and energy-saving standards.
Through this sophisticated and thorough product design processes, KYOCERA developed their best product concept yet… ECOSYS. ECOSYS was an idea that has resulted in award-winning products globally. ECOSYS printers are fundamentally designed to use long-life components that are many times more durable than traditional alternatives. By implication, in most cases there is no replacement required, resulting in up to 85% less waste being produced during the life of the printer.
In 1992, when the manufacturing community only treated sustainability as a topic of intellectual discourse, KYOCERA acted and developed the first ever ECOSYS printer, the FS-1500. This major milestone in the history of the company was achieved at a time when the Kyoto Protocol* was still in its infancy and over decade away from coming into force.
Since then, KYOCERA has built on their many years of expertise and introduced more printers onto the market; the most recent ones being the ECOSYS P6130cdn, P6035cdn, P7040cdn, M6530cdn and M6535cidn, which have all gone on to become bestsellers in the South African market.
There is no doubt that KYOCERA has always been a pioneering visionary in environmental sustainability since the company was founded in 1959, staying true to their basic philosophy of “continuing to develop and produce remarkable environmentally conscious products true to the name of the printer brand ‘ECOSYS’ all through the ages”.
KYOCERA have always been a step ahead of their peers and continuously seek to push the boundaries in printer technology and manufacturing.
It is therefore safe to say that KYOCERA continually strives to make the best eco-friendly printers in the world!
