Lexmark continuously seeks new ways to reduce its footprint. While making great strides in waste reduction at our global manufacturing facilities, Lexmark also provides an opportunity for our customers to reduce their waste and increase the number of Lexmark products that are reused and recycled.
By incorporating Life Cycle Assessment results in our product design process, we develop sustainable products that combine high standards of performance, efficiency, and environmental stewardship through each life cycle stage.
Philippines enacted the Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) Act of 2022. EPR requires product manufacturers to provide EPR programs for their plastic packaging and register these with the National Solid Waste Management Commission. Manufacturers will also measure their annual plastic packaging footprint and meet diversion targets.
Lexmark partners with Optimal Systems Distribution, Inc., to facilitate the collection and recycling of end-of-life plastic. Philippine-based customers can ship or drop off their plastic packaging at the following collection site. Lexmark will recycle the plastic packaging for free.
