As a provider of printing
solutions including inkjet,
laser, all-in-one printers and
related supplies, Lexmark
shares in the environmental
responsibility for our
products. To learn more

collection methods and our
recycling policy, connect to
www.lexmark.com/recycle.
Lexmark takes seriously its responsibility to the environment and the com-
munities in which it operates. For Lexmark, environment protection is a
continuing process that involves all of our suppliers, employees, major
functions of the company – and ultimately our customers and the way they
use and dispose of our products. Caring for the environment through com-
plementary business practices has become a way of life. Protecting the
environment is the major objective in Lexmark’s manufacturing processes.
This is clearly demonstrated by Lexmark’s 4R Strategy: Reduce Recover
Reuse Recycle and the successful Cartridge Collection Programme where
customers can return their empty cartridges free of charge.
Lexmark Environmental Programme
Our structured approach to environmental protection with regular auditing
and long-term commitment has proved to be a credible measurement
of Lexmark environmental actions. The company already had ISO 9002
certification, but in order to comply with the demands of its customers
and to fulfil its own objectives, Lexmark has also obtained ISO 14001
certification for all its owned factories across the world. Lexmark is now
justifiably proud of its record for waste and water management, and is
especially pleased with its ability to integrate environmental issues into
each operation, making it part of our everyday business. Today, Lexmark
extends this approach to its major suppliers who are required to comply
with legislation.
In addition to our WEEE programmes, Lexmark also offers a complete
cartridge collection programme. Lexmark offers multiple choices such as
individual pick up with prepaid reply labels inserted in the cartridge boxes
or bulk programmes for large business users via office and pallet size
containers.
Once collected, all Lexmark cartridges are recovered for reuse or recycling
according to the most stringent recycling practices: there is no landfill or
incineration involved.

Our shared responsibility for the environmentally sound management of
our products is also demonstrated by the implementation of the European
WEEE Directive (Waste Electrical & Electronic Equipment).
Lexmark equipment is marked according to the requirements of this
Directive and programmes are set up to ensure that the waste from our
electrical and electronic equipment is collected separately from everyday
household and usual waste streams for proper recycling.
