Lexmark Sustainability
Help your customers reduce their impact on the environment and improve their bottom line.
Sustainability is an important topic in businesses across all industries. Your customers want to:
- Minimise their impact on the environment
- Work with environmentally focused partners
- Communicate a sustainability focus to the marketplace
- Reduce waste, reuse, recycle and increase efficiency
Together with Lexmark, you can deliver it all.
When it comes to sustainability, print is often a missed opportunity.
Lexmark devices are produced using materials derived from sustainable sources and designed to have minimal impact on the environment throughout the print lifecycle.
Reduce your impact on the environment and improve your bottom line.
You can help your customers minimise costs by keeping devices in use longer and save on supplies through digitally informed supply chain operations. Lexmark’s print system was designed with long-life imaging components to save resources, reduce waste and require less maintenance, saving money over the life of each device.
Lexmark offers the highest number of printer models with significant PCR content in the industry—currently four times more than the nearest competitor.
Sustainable design
Lexmark products are designed to have minimal effects on the environment throughout the entire life, including manufacturing and distribution. And because Lexmark devices are intentionally designed to last longer—7+ years—your customers can refresh devices less often, saving on energy needed to produce and transport devices as well as reducing the amount of raw materials used.
- Sturdy, industrial metal frames
- Considerate material selection
- Incorporated, reclaimed post-consumer recycled (PCR) plastic
- Onboard sensors to assess toner levels and service needs
- Long-life imaging system components, including high-yield Unison™ toner cartridges
- Extra memory, multi-core processing power
- Supplies designed for second life
- Security upgrades
- Advanced energy-efficiency features and toner conservation capabilities
Lexmark products not only last longer, but there are fewer deliveries to a customer’s location and less interventions on the device—all good news for the environment and your bottom line.
In the past 14 years, Lexmark has been able to incorporate more than 59 million pounds of recycled materials into the production of laser cartridges.

2020 Design for Recycling® Award
This annual award recognises manufacturers who have actively incorporated Design for Recycling® principles into their products and manufacturing processes.
Responsible reuse and recycling
As part of a focus on the circular economy, Lexmark offers sustainable services and programmes for recycling supplies and equipment.
Some of these programmes include:
- Lexmark Cartridge Collection Programme (LCCP): a free and easy way to return toner cartridges to Lexmark’s recycling centres.
- Lexmark Equipment Collection Programme (LECP): internal recycling processes for electronic waste in select areas, including printers that have reached the end of usable life.
Not only do these efforts promote innovation and economic growth, but they help your customers print sustainably without compromising on quality.
