SAMSUNG Printers Certified as Eco-friendly by Blue Angel Label

The Samsung Electronics mono laser printer, color laser printer, and multifunction printer have been certified as eco-friendly by Blue Angel, the foremost environmental certification label Germany.

Three models of Samsung printers have earned the Blue Angel certification for their exceptional environmental sensitivity and consumer-friendly operation: the CLP-300N color-laser printer, ML-3051ND mono-laser printer, and SCX-5530FN multifunction printer. These Samsung printers attained this sought-after eco-friendly recognition based on their “resource-saving and low-emission” product performance. A product can be certified by the Blue Angel, of the German Institute for Quality Assurance and Certification (RAL-UZ122), only after fulfilling stringent test standards related to such factors as energy consumption, emission rate, noise level, recycling efforts, and use of environmentally friendly components.

Samsung Printers and Blue Angel Certification
“Samsung emphasizes the environmentally friendliness of product materials, operating functions, and production processes of every printer it develops, manufactures, and distributes. Our goal is to be the world’s most environmentally friendly maker of printer products. Accordingly, we have developed innovative toner units and print functions in order to assure that, among other things, material usage and energy consumption can be minimized. And related to these efforts, we have initiated the STAR (Samsung Take-back and Recycling) program, a comprehensive undertaking in which empty toner cartridges are collected and recycled,” noted Fabian Maiwald, Product Marketing Manager of Samsung Electronics Germany. “That is why we are so delighted with the Blue Angel certification, which represents a major step forward for our products, in terms of environmental protection and consumer advocacy,” he added.

Three ‘Angels’ for an Environment-Friendly Office: Samsung CLP-300N, ML-3051ND, and SCX-5530FN

Eco-sensitive customers can find the ideal printer for every requirement among the certified Samsung printers. The all-new print function, which incorporates the NO-NOIS™ (Non Orbiting Noiseless Optic Imaging System) technology, makes the CLP-300N the world’s most compact and lightest color-laser printer with eco-friendly operations. Ideally suited for the SOHO and personal user, the Samsung CLP-300N fits comfortably on a regular office desk to maximize user convenience. This printer also features Samsung’s unique and single circular toner cartridge, which contributes to the minimization of material usage and energy consumption.
The Samsung ML-3051ND, with built-in duplex print function, is especially designed for a SOHO user as well as a business office with a multi-user printing network. The model’s outstanding reliability and ease of maintenance and most of all, the product’s resource-saving capability is assured through the functions’ efficiency and the highest-rated monthly printing output performance in its class.

In addition, the multifunction printer SCX-5530FN provides flexible and high-quality document processing at a print speed of up to 28 pages per minute, along with a 6MB (480-page) fax memory. Moreover, the toner-save solution is highly cost-effective and environmentally friendly since this extraordinary function can save up to as much as 40% of the total toner consumption.

Blue Angel Certification
Blue Angel is the original certification agency for environmentally friendly products, which was founded in 1977, based on a joint initiative of German Department of the Interior and Department of the Environment. First and foremost, the Blue Angel certification seeks to assure the proper protection of the environment and consumers as well. Therefore, to qualify for this recognition, products and services must undergo rigid testing of their overall environmental protection measures, in addition to satisfying all standards related to public health and welfare, as well as workplace and operational safety. Efficient uses of input materials, production process, product operation/maintenance, product life cycle, and disposal/recycling are also considered during the Blue Angel certification process.
