Canon Leads the way in Green packaging
Canon Lead the way in Green Initiatives:
Canon Inc has announced a range of new green initiatives to enhance their already very high reputation for care for the environment. The new initiatives will be called ‘Generation Green’ and will be rolled out across the range of printer products including PIXMA Inkjet printers, Canon Selphy Photo Printers and the best selling Canon I-Sensys Laser printers.
The initiative includes measures to use its NatureStone™ Limestone packaging in select ink packs. NatureStone™ uses biodegradable limestone packaging, which reduces the need for paper and other raw materials, resulting in a 45% reduction in natural energy, 65% reduction in pertroleum-based plastics and 50% reduction in emissions that impact global warming.
By switching from Styrofoam packing to an Airshell packing for toners in transit which uses air cushioning and helps to reduce product sizes, improving shipping efficiency and reduces CO(2) emissions generated during transport by 23 to 49 percent.
We look forward to seeing the new packing in the warehouse and commend Canon on their progressive attitudes
