Canon Sets the Bar with EPEAT 2.0 Registration

In a notable advancement for sustainability and eco-conscious technology, Canon has successfully registered seven models of its office multifunction devices and laser printers under the new "EPEAT 2.0" program. Among these, the multifunction device imageFORCE C3150 and the Color imageCLASS X LBP1333C are pioneering products in the imaging equipment category, marking a historic first on a global scale.

Introduced in 2006, EPEAT has established itself as an international eco-label for electronic products, aimed at helping companies, schools, and hospitals choose products that meet sustainability criteria. The recent updates to the program, known as EPEAT 2.0, reflect a stronger commitment to environmental responsibility, with an emphasis on supply chain impacts and corporate accountability. The registration process formally commenced in December 2025, and it aims to evaluate not only the environmental performance of products but also manufacturers' sourcing and production practices.

With the registration of the imageFORCE C3150 and Color imageCLASS X LBP1333C on June 16, 2026, Canon has not only embraced these rigorous standards but has set a new benchmark in the industry. These models have achieved Bronze-level certification under EPEAT 2.0, and Canon continues to expand its product line, adding more models, such as the imageFORCE C5170 series and the imageFORCE C1333P, to the registry shortly thereafter.

Canon's long-standing commitment to environmental initiatives is evidenced by its consistent focus on integrating recycled materials in production and reducing the use of certain chemicals. Furthermore, Canon is dedicated to improving labor environments and health and safety conditions at its manufacturing sites. The company ensures transparency in its supply chain by informing suppliers of its procurement policies and closely monitoring sourcing locations of materials and components. These efforts have been instrumental in aligning with EPEAT 2.0’s updated criteria.

As a leading manufacturer to early adopt EPEAT 2.0 standards, Canon has been recognized as an “EPEAT 2.0 Launch Partner,” further underscoring its leadership in sustainable technology. The company aims to continue promoting and growing its lineup of EPEAT 2.0 certified products across its printing business.

In conclusion, Canon's achievement in registering multiple models under the EPEAT 2.0 banner represents not just a milestone for the company but a significant step forward for the tech industry's commitment to environmental stewardship. As we look toward the future, Canon is poised to make a lasting impact through its expanded offering of sustainable solutions to meet the growing demands of eco-aware consumers and organizations.
