Eco-label and Product Registry Programs

Xerox Eco-Label Product List (PDF, 89 KB)

Many Xerox products meet or exceed the requirements of the world's most widely-recognised certifications for product environmental performance — ENERGY STAR, EPEAT and Germany's Blue Angel. Xerox's eco label products provide environmental benefits without compromising performance, quality or reliability. And the energy- and paper-saving features of these machines bring value, efficiency and flexibility to your work environment.

EPEAT^® environmental rating registry for electronic products

EPEAT^® is a comprehensive environmental assessment tool for electronic products. The rating system identifies electronic equipment meeting sustainability impact areas across their life cycle, from raw materials through end of life. Xerox sells EPEAT products in thirteen countries. To view the products and their rating (Bronze, Silver, or Gold) in your country please visit: www.epeat.net.

ENERGY STAR^® Program

The ENERGY STAR program was initiated in 1993 by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), with Xerox as a Charter Partner. The EPA developed a testing methodology to certify products with specific energy-saving attributes. On a regular cadence, the ENERGY STAR program introduces progressively more stringent requirements. The current requirements for Imaging Equipment is Version 3.2, which Xerox and other industry members contributed to developing with the EPA.

While the current standard is challenging to meet, our goal remains to have 100 percent of in-scope product introductions achieve this label. These energy requirements serve as the foundation for other eco-labels, such as EPEAT and Blue Angel, and show our on-going commitment to reduce product energy consumption.

Blue Angel Certification

Based in Germany, Blue Angel was the first environmental-related label for products and services in the world. Since 1978 it has promoted ecological awareness and guided consumers to the most ecologically sound products. On a regular cadence, RAL (Governing Body for Blue Angel Certification) introduces progressively more stringent requirements with the most recent revision being DE-UZ-219. Devices must meet stringent requirements for chemical emissions, materials selection, recyclable design, and energy consumption to achieve Blue Angel Certification.
