Facts about EHS&s <br /> XeroxO Dry Ink Toner <br /> • Xerox®dry ink toner is non-toxic and does not generate hazardous waste(based on U.S.Federal <br /> regulations).This is the result of careful selection of materials and control of the raw material <br /> ingredients. <br /> • Xerox®products have been designed to ensure that emissions are well below the appropriate <br /> regulatory requirements.To ensure that the equipment is performing as intended,Xerox <br /> recommendations must be followed for placement,maintenance,and room ventilation.Proper <br /> maintenance of the products,as directed in the appropriate Xerox collateral,will ensure optimal " <br /> performance of the equipment and highly controlled,low level chemical and dust emissions. r <br /> • Prints made with the Xerox'dry ink toners are readily recyclable using standard deinking processes. <br /> • Unlike some liquid ink technologies used in the industry today,Xerox'dry ink toners use no <br /> petroleum distillates.Petroleum distillates are combustible,produce oil waste that needs to be <br /> carefully managed,and potentially contribute to volatile organic compound(VOC)emissions in the <br /> work environment. ■ <br /> • Sometimes customers wonder how our toners compare to vegetable-based inks such as"soy inks". <br /> The use of soy-based inks is desirable in traditional offset printing because,by substituting the soy For more information about environment, <br /> oil for part of the petroleum oil,volatile organic emissions are reduced.In contrast,the Xerox health and safety programs at Xerox,see our <br /> production presses such as iGen°use dry toners,not liquid inks.Toners are fine powders composed website:www.xerox.com/environment <br /> of plastics,colorants,and small quantities of functional additives.Since Xerox'toners are safe and <br /> non-toxic and because Xerox'products are designed to adhere to strict emission standards, Questions <br /> emissions of VOCs during printing should not be a concern(as it might be in offset printing and askxer x@xer x.c (1.800.275.9376) <br /> some digital liquid ink technologies). askxerox@xerox.com <br /> • Our Green World Alliance program provides a mechanism for customers to return empty toner EHS-Europe@xerox.com <br /> bottles and cartridges for recycling. <br /> • Xerox has been recycling waste toner material for many years: <br /> — As part of the manufacturing process,conventional toner that does not meet the size <br /> specifications is recycled back into the toner making process. <br /> — Post-consumer waste toner is returned to Xerox from selected products,where it is"recycled" <br /> back into the manufacturing process and is reused. <br /> • Xerox'Emulsion Aggregation(EA)advanced toner further reduces the environmental impact of <br /> printing.These toners are energy efficient in their manufacturing,and during use,reduce the <br /> energy investment per page compared to conventional toner.This is achieved because,compared <br /> to conventional toner,more prints can be made per pound of EA toner. <br /> @ 2019 Xerox Corporation.All rights reserved.Xerox@ is a trademark of Xerox Corporation in the ro <br /> United States and/or other countries.712019 BR27085 xe <br />
