Océ

Building a sustainable business has always been one of the core business principles of Océ.

Océ do this by developing products and services that add value to the document processes use by their customers, while minimizing environmental impact. Océ’s lifecycle development program considers environmental impact in the entire product cycle, from product development, manufacturing, use and reuse through to the processing of waste and residual materials.

Focal areas

Energy

Around 80% of the total energy consumption per print is used in paper production. Most of the remaining 20% is used in the printing process. The energy used in manufacturing Océ equipment is relatively low considering the average high volumes printed.

Each step in reducing energy consumption is very important, especially in environments where hundreds of thousands of prints are produced. In some cases such as wide format print-for-use, where printing is done at intervals, the energy used not only in printing but also in ready or sleep mode is important.

Reuse

Océ’s products are typically built for long, intensive operation. One way this is achieved is by using parts with a longer life than the average life cycle of the equipment at the customer’s site. After the return of a leased machine [after 3-5 years] these parts and modules are recovered and reconditioned for a new life as spare parts or parts for a new product. Designers at Océ develop products with the total life cycle in mind. A lot of effort is put into designing non-type-specific parts and modules that can be used in different printing systems. These “commodity” items fit into a constant stream of parts and modules that can easily be exchanged, and by reducing the number of different parts they also simplify logistics.

Product responsibility

To ensure optimum safety for customers using its equipment, Océ applies its own set of technical regulations (Océ Technical Standards) during the design processes. These are generally much stricter than official regulations. These standards include the latest information on health, safety and environmental impacts of materials and substances used by Océ, as well as ergonomics. Updates of legislation, regulations and global industry standards are taken into account. Before being released for sale, Océ products are assessed and approved by independent experts and testing institutes such as TÜV and Cetecom in Germany, UL in the United States and CSA in Canada.

Océ products are accompanied by adequate health, safety and environmental information for customers and authorities. In addition to user manuals, Océ also supplies product safety data sheets on equipment and material safety data sheets on consumables and supplies that offer a condensed overview of its safety and environmental performance.
