Solutions for Federal Environmental Compliance
Lexmark is committed to protecting our planet's natural resources and proud of the progress we are making to reduce the environmental impacts of printing. We extend this commitment to helping federal agencies and branches comply with the new Federal Environmental Compliance.
On October 5, 2009, President Obama issued an executive order (EO) calling on all agencies to help the environment by reducing waste and greenhouse gas emissions. Part of that order called for a reduction in printing pages. Developing a plan to comply with all the reductions and reporting required in the EO seems like a daunting task. Lexmark has been helping our customers reduce their printing output and associated greenhouse gas (ghg) emissions for over ten years.
A recent LifeCycle Assessment of a multifunction printer revealed that the largest impact to the environment resulting from printing is the paper used. In order to meet the spirit of the EO, you will need to develop a plan that can help you print less. A printing and imaging plan with consistent policies and technology will help you realize these environmental benefits. Lexmark Consulting specializes in helping agencies identify ways to print less, reduce their impact on the environment, and reduce their operating expenses; all without cutting programs and actually improving your mission performance.
The EPA and the DoD have issued procurement policies related to protecting the environment; therefore, agencies should take these into consideration when purchasing printers, copiers, and MFPs. At Lexmark Government Solutions, we take great pride in our compliance with government regulations, which is why all of our government devices are Energy Star compliant. These products offer the opportunity to purchase the highest yield toner cartridges on the market. Combined with Lexmark’s cartridge return program, where cartridges are returned and dispositioned for reuse and recycling- without any materials entering a landfill- make Lexmark a fully compliant choice for Federal agencies wishing to comply with EO green procurement regulations.
