All vendors providing final exterior packaging for Clover’s finished inkjet cartridges are also certified by the FSC program. The FSC label provides a credible link between responsible production and consumption of forest products, enabling consumers and businesses to make purchasing decisions that benefit people and the environment as well as providing ongoing business value.

 

EcoLogo CCD-O39
Clover’s entire toner cartridge line is EcoLogo Certified under the CCD-O39 Printing Cartridge standard. This standard takes a multi-parameter approach, identifying important environmental indicators at all stages of a product’s lifecycle as well as product performance criteria. EcoLogo is a third-party eco-labeling program approved by the Global Ecolabelling Network as meeting the ISO 14024 standard. EcoLogo one of the most recognizable eco-labels in North America.

R2 Certification
R2 (Responsible Recycling) Certification is the leading standard for the electronics recycling industry and recognizes companies that protect the environment, human health, safety and the security of the recycling process. R2 certification is awarded only to facilities meeting rigorous standards for environmental responsibility, as tested by third-party auditors. In all, the audit encompasses more than 50 areas of operational and environmental performance, and ensures that companies manage not only the responsible recycling of materials in their own facility, but also in those further downstream in the recycling process.
Clover’s R2 certification was achieved in 2011 by the company’s Erie, Pennsylvania recycling center, and serves as an example to the industry. With this certification in place at Clover, customers can are assured that the company will continue to lead the industry in environmental and public health, worker health and safety, security (data and facility), and chain of custody practices.
