The directive for Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment, or the WEEE Directive, became law in Europe in February of 2003. It came into place as a means to decrease the growing problem of electronic equipment and electrical waste. Producers would now be held responsible for taking back their equipment, or either recycling and/or treating it.
Photocopiers are a major part of the WEEE directive, and waste reduction and energy saving in the workplace has been helped by the introduction of environmentally friendly photocopiers in these workplaces. These new machines play a big role in helping with the Global Warming issues facing us today. Under the WEEE directive these photocopiers can no longer be discarded to a local landfill.
Photocopiers are the most common item when it comes to office equipment. Since they are only used when needed and not a constantly used machine, in terms of paper use, energy, and consequentially greenhouse gas emissions, they can pose a significant price to pay to the environment.
The new technology developed in copiers now being produced come with an "energy saving" mode which will power down the photocopier when not in use, and save over 60 percent on the energy it takes to run the machine. The new "on demand" fusing system is another energy saving feature and takes into account two important components of the photocopier. Rather than a halogen heater a ceramic heating element is used, and instead of a quick heating roller the new copiers will have a thin fixing film. This means lower heat requirements and better energy efficiency. These new copiers can also go from sleep mode to fully operational in under ten seconds, as opposed to this taking over a minute with the older photocopiers.
Moving forward this new technology along with the increasing availability of double sided printing and copying will pave the way for energy efficiency in the office. The future of office equipment will be a more environmentally friendly one, and the photocopiers will be leading the way. - 22787

Photocopiers are our reality and we have to take all it takes to make them ecological friendly. ecological protection starts with photocopiers but finishes with a man who copies.
I read your post and it was amazing , KEEP IT, great job.
