Healthier working environment
Products that are awarded Blue Angel certification have fulfilled very strict requirements on emissions of dust, heat, ozone and noise. No carcinogenic, mutagenic or reprotoxic substances may be added to the plastics used in casing and toners; the maximum emission levels for volatile organic compounds, ozone and dust may not be exceeded; and noise production (sound power level) may not exceed strict levels.
The award-winning Océ VarioPrint-, CS- and MP-Series systems produce virtually no ozone emissions thanks to the use of efficient energy saving technologies like short warm-up times, power saving modes, toner saving modes as well as the overall extremely low power consumption during operation. All that adds up and contributes to a healthier environment for office workers and sets new industry standards.
Longer service life
The Blue Angel label is only awarded to products of outstanding quality with a long service life. Certification is only given if spare parts are guaranteed for at least five years after production endsand that means users can be sure of obtaining parts throughout the long lifecycle of these Océ printing systems.
Less waste through recycling
Blue Angel certification means that products cause as little waste as possible. In practical terms, this means that the environmentally friendly design of the Océ multifunctionals allows parts of the machine to be re-used. Already in production, Océ uses recycled plastics and parts in their products.
Lower power consumption
The Blue Angel label provides certified evidence that these Océ multifunctionals use as little power as possible when in use and have minimal standby loss, i.e. when not in use.
