The 2nd public consultation on the Draft Imaging Equipment Consumables Criteria for the EPEAT ecolabel will open Friday, April 19, 2024 and close Monday, May 20, 2024 at11:59 ET. GEC will send a follow up email announcement with a link to access the criteria when the public comment period opens. Interested parties can also access the public comment documents on the announcements page of epeat.net.
For public commenters, the 2nd consultation will be limited in scope to those revisions proposed by the Technical Committee since the initial public consultation. The draft criteria address design of imaging equipment to allow for use of remanufactured cartridges, to minimize use of paper and to meet internationally recognized indoor air quality standards, as well as consumable take-back programs to enable circularity.
These criteria will be applied to the EPEAT Imaging Equipment product category only, along with criteria for Climate Change Mitigation, Sustainable Use of Resources, Reducing Chemicals of Concern and Responsible Supply Chains.
Le domande generali sui criteri EPEAT vanno rivolte a criteria@gec.org.
