Lexmark Designs Products with the Environment in Mind
Lexmark is committed to reducing the environmental impact of our products through all phases of the product life cycle– from manufacturing to distribution to use to end of life.
Every year, they target millions of dollars in investments with the objective of delivering innovative design solutions that not only enhance the function and value of our products but their environmental attributes, too.
It all starts with product design. Lexmark's Design for Environment program is a formal part of our new-product development process. They have built specific checkpoints into our product release system to ensure that every new product we introduce meets Lexmark's Product Environmental Specification. Moreover, thet review and update their specification annually to ensure it remains current with the requirements set forth by international governing bodies and regulatory agencies.
