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.
