Sustainability has become a trend in the printing market.The increasing demand from environmentally conscious consumers has driven the need for more sustainable, repairable, and durable products.
At GM Technology we applaud the growing number of companies and manufacturers showing concern for the environment by implementing strategies to reduce their carbon footprint and produce more environmentally friendly goods.
GM Technology: 20 Years in the Circular Economy
At GM Technology we have been pioneers in focusing our business on the circular economy, advocating for over 20 years for copiers, toner cartridges, and consumables remanufacturing.
This is a process that we carry out meticulously, supported by rigorous quality controls and certifications that allow us to provide our customers with excellent, efficient service and more affordable and environmentally friendly products.
Major Manufacturers Join the Reuse Movement
Recently, big manufacturers in the printing device sector have taken a step forward, demonstrating a genuine commitment to the future of our planet.
Notable examples include the Japanese manufacturer Konica Minolta, which aims to offer environmentally responsible products with its range of refurbished ECO equipment.
Similarly, Lexmark has launched a program for collecting cartridges and printing equipment for reuse and recycling, emphasizing the importance of refurbishment.
Canon also embraces “remanufacturing” with its lines of refurbished copiers and multifunctionals.
Brother also joins this trend through printer, cartridge, and consumable recycling programs.
At GM Technology, we celebrate the commitment of major manufacturers in the printing market who prioritize sustainability by adopting reuse and remanufacturing practices. A necessary push towards the circular economy that allows the reduction of waste and emissions.
Furthermore, we are witnessing a significant shift in public procurement, an area that is beginning to embrace sustainability as an equally crucial factor.
Remanufactured equipment and consumables are becoming more and more common in public procurement framework agreements, indicating a move towards more environmentally friendly methods. These agreements not only offer a more ecological and economically viable option but also promote the adoption of the circular economy in the public sector, creating a steady demand for sustainable products.
At GM Technology, we are excited about this development since it aligns with our principles and validates our more than two decades of remanufacturing and reuse commitment. By aligning ourselves with public procurement framework agreements, we not only expand our market and strengthen our position as leaders in sustainability, but we also actively contribute to the development of a responsible consumption model and the reduction of environmental impact in the public sector.
The Green Revolution Continues
Thanks to the collaboration of organizations, companies, and industries, the office printing industry can now offer efficient, affordable, secure, and environmentally responsible products. A “win-win” solution where everyone benefits.
The green revolution continues, and each step towards sustainability brings us closer to a more promising future.
