Katun ecoKAP cartridges use a patent-pending cap that facilitates the refilling to make the Katun cartridge truly re-usable. The ecoKAP cartridges are currently manufactured using more than 60% of recycled plastics with plans to increase the percentage of recycled plastic in the future. The company also plans to launch Katun ecoKAP refilled cartridges, which can be refilled up to three times without comprising quality and functionality. Heidi Boller, General Manager for Katun EMEA, said: “We are very excited to be introducing a truly environmental product to the office equipment channel which will also become part of the expanding range of environmentally certified products. The empty Katun ecoKAP cartridges will be readily accepted for recycling as part of our Core Collection Partner Services.” www.katun.com/eu Carbon neutral paper Canon Europe has launched Red Label Zero FSC and Recycled White Zero FSC, which it says are the first cradle-tocustomer carbon neutral, technical wide-format papers for the architectural, engineering, construction and manufacturing (AECM) industry. To ensure both papers are as sustainable as possible, Canon only partners with suppliers who meet the highest standards of responsibility, as demonstrated by the FSC (Forest Stewardship Council) certification and are constantly striving to improve production processes to minimise CO2 output. The company has also worked to reduce the number of transport movements to further lower the carbon output in the overall supply chain from paper mills to end-customers/resellers. Any carbon emissions that remain in the process are offset against recognised compensation programmes through ClimatePartner, which works worldwide on carbon emission reduction projects, such as hydropower and wind energy projects. www.canon.co.uk PC-less scanning PFU (EMEA), a Ricoh company, has added the RICOH fi-8040 to its range of scanners.
