The 2nd public consultation on the Draft Imaging Equipment Consumables Criteria for the EPEAT ecolabel is now open to all interested stakeholders. 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.

The public consultation process is managed by NSF International, on behalf of GEC. Comments must be submitted by11:59 pm ET on May 20, 2024 through the NSF Online Workspace (NOW). Instructions on submitting comments are provided on the NOW. To support openness and transparency, the NSF website displays all public comments and their resolution.
