SWAN certification PDF Print E-mail
swan.jpgfreecolor products set an important standard for users' constantly increasing awareness of environmental issues. In awarding us the SWAN certificate, the Swedish SIS Institute has confirmed that our production methods are environmentally friendly and our quality is tested.

Many freecolor toner products satisfy the Swedish authority's stringent requirements with regard to quality and environment and have therefore been awarded the prestigious Swedish eco-label "Nordic SWAN".

What does the Nordic Swan certify?

• Less waste and lower consumption of energy and raw materials. Using cartridges several times over reduces total consumption and thus reduces the negative impact on the environment.

• The criteria are aimed at reducing waste but also establish other important goals such as product quality, quality assurance and monitoring of the recycling process. The replacement parts must also be free of harmful new substances.


What was tested?

• Compliance with local regulations on environmental protection and industrial safety.
• Re-use of over 75% recycled material
