How the Xerox
®
ColorQube
®
8700 Exceeds the Environmental
Requirement
Reduce Energy Consumption and Waste
Reduce more than your color costs. With a wealth
of features focused on energy and supplies
conservation, the ColorQube 8700 was designed
to reduce your company’s environmental impact
and boost your bottom line.
•
Less waste, lower impact.
Solid Ink sticks
avoid the cartridge and the packaging,
creating up to 90% less printing waste
during use versus comparable laser
devices. Plus, Solid Ink prints underwent an
assessment according to the International
Association of the Deinking Industry’s
Method 11 and were certified with a test
result of “good deinkability,” which means
Solid Ink prints can be recycled alongside
other recyclable paper.
•
Bio-derived ink.
Xerox
®
Solid Ink has been
certified to have 30% bio-derived renewable
material content by the National Association
of Printing Ink Manufacturers.
•
Environmental paper options.
Solid Ink’s
full coverage allows effective use of a wide
variety of paper, including recycled.
•
Ready when you are.
Intelligent Ready
technology learns your usage patterns so it is
ready to print when you need it.
•
Print responsibly.
By default, our print driver
is set to two-sided printing, and the Earth
Smart feature allows you to select other
default settings that encourage responsible
usage, such as no printing banner pages.
•
Fewer consumables.
The long-life Cleaning
unit – with an average life of 30,000 prints –
is the only replaceable component, and can
be recycled through the Xerox Green World
Alliance program. Visit
www.xerox.com/gwa
for more information.
•
Energy Management.
With Cisco
EnergyWise, enabled by Xerox
®
Power MIB
(Management Information Base), you can
control, manage and report your device’s
power consumption information, and set
optimal power states and timeout intervals.
Sustainability is not just a nice-to-do at Xerox.
We view it as a way of doing business, not as a
cost of doing business. In fact, Xerox focused on
environmental performance and sustainability
long before it was popular to do so.
Consider:
• In the 1980s, Xerox was the first company
to introduce energy-saving power-down
features on its equipment, and the first to
make two-sided printing a standard on its
systems, significantly reducing paper use.
• In 1997, Xerox was an early adopter of
ISO 14001, an international standard for
environmental management. An early
adopter of the new standard, Xerox certified
all its major manufacturing sites within a year
of the standard’s development.
Xerox continues to use innovation and
leadership to drive environmental performance
through its value chain:
• Since 1991, more than 2 billion pounds
of waste have been diverted from landfills
through our Product Take-Back and Recycling
Program.
• In 2003, Xerox joined the US EPA Climate
leaders program and pledged to cut
greenhouse gas emissions from worldwide
operations by 10 percent from 2002 to
2012. Xerox reached that goal six years early,
achieving an 18 percent reduction from the
2002 baseline by the end of 2006.
• Xerox offers environmentally responsible
choices for paper and media such as recycled
media with up to 100% post-consumer
recycled content and paper that adheres
to internationally recognized standards for
sustainable forestry management.

Solid Ink Waste vs. Laser Waste
Cartridge-free Solid Ink is a true
consumable; no empty toner cartridges
to dispose or recycle. The ColorQube 8700
produces up to 90 percent less waste
during use than a comparable laser device.
Solid Ink
19 lbs.
Laser
223 lbs.
Total waste produced from printing
4,000 pages per month for 4 years.
