Eco Start Program Helping customers minimize
their eco-footprint
Océ environmental leadership goes beyond
reducing its own carbon footprint. In response to rising CO2 levels in
the atmosphere and the alarming ramifications of global warming, Océ
North America has launched the Océ Eco Start Program. Through a
partnership with , Océ will plant trees to offset
carbon emissions generated by production printing equipment purchased by
Océ North America customers during the equipments first year of
operation to help customers get started with a full year of carbon
offsets.
Trees for the Future Since its inception in
1989, Trees for the Future, a Charity
Navigator four-star organization, has helped thousands of communities
in Central America, Africa, and Asia improve their livelihoods and
surrounding environments by planting nearly 50 million trees. As a
result, Trees for the Future has removed an estimated one million tons
of CO2 from the atmosphere each year. The Océ Eco Start program provides
a starting point for customers interested in achieving carbon-neutral
production. Customers benefit in two waysthey can enhance their
standing as socially responsible corporate citizens and gain the
competitive edge that comes from going green, as consumers seek out
business partners with a proven record of environmental stewardship.
The Océ
Eco-Calculator A new convergence of trees and print
To
help customers assess the true environmental impact of their own print
operations and achieve carbon neutral production, Océ North America
Production Printing Systems division is unveiling an Eco-calculator that
measures the CO2 emissions of Océ production printing equipment, and
combines it with the Océ Eco Start Program to offset those emissions.
Océ is one of the first companies to offer an Eco-calculator and carbon
offset program for production-class printing equipment.
The
Eco-calculator predicts the carbon emissions of any Océ production
printing system and calculates the number of trees that must be planted
to offset its emissions. The calculator is designed to help customers
evaluate the energy consumption and resulting carbon footprint of their
Océ-powered print operations. The Eco-calculator considers both monthly
production volumes and operating shifts to determine an accurate energy
consumption value based on running the equipment and cooling the space
where it resides. Using this value and customers' EPA-determined CO2
coefficient, the calculator determines the total carbon output.
The
Certified Green Partners certification, the Océ Eco Start carbon offset
program and the Eco-calculator are all part of Océ's larger, holistic
approach to environmental responsibility that includes sustainable
products, practices, and tools to promote a healthier environment.
