Our Commitment To The Environment

Our main environmental actions at DocSol:

• We recycle our toner cartridges via Cartridges 4 Planet Ark and recommend this initiative to our clients.
• We refurbish pre-loved machines that have been replaced. This saves many machines that otherwise could have ended up in landfill and instead gives them a second life back in our fleet.
• Machines that are past their life and unable to be refurbished are disposed of as per our Sustainability Action Plan.

We will continue to evolve our practices and adapt our plan to minimise the environmental impact of our products and operations as part of our commitment to a greener planet for our clients, staff, and partners.

In addition to our practices, our range of devices are among the most environmentally efficient available. Each brand we offer has their own sustainability measures:

Konica Minolta: Konica Minolta is recognised as one of the world’s most sustainable organisations boasting an impressive list of awards and recognition including Global 100 Most Sustainable Corporations for 2019 and 2020. KM have demonstrated innovation in their Green Product Features:

• Induction Heating Fixing Unit: Using induction to fuse toner reduces power consumption during sleep modes by shortening the warm-up time.
• Simitri HD Toner: Comprised of a biomass – a renewable organic resource made up of biological materials that exclude fossil fuels and generates considerably less CO² than conventional toner and is completely carbon neutral.
• Eco Timer: Automatically analyses usage and improves settings.
• Eco Meter: Information on toner and paper savings is displayed on the new Eco Meter, making it easy to assess environmental contributions by device, department, and user.

Epson: Epson has an ongoing commitment to environmental sustainability and aim to become carbon negative and underground resource free by 2050. They established our global Environmental Vision 2050: they will minimise energy use associated with production and products, and switch to renewable energy sources. They will also aim to reduce their customers’ GHG emissions by providing products that have a smaller environmental footprint and by moving to carbon-free logistics.

Brother: Australia’s approach to sustainability starts with the global Brother Group 2050 Environmental Vision, which recognises the key social issues of climate change, resource depletion, environmental pollution, and destruction of the ecosystem as business risks for the Brother Group. This long-term commitment aims to achieve carbon neutrality across all business operations, reduce CO2 emissions throughout the entire value chain, promote sustainable resource use and minimise waste, while actively restoring and conserving ecosystems beyond the impact of our operations.
