Protecting the environment and saving natural resources are also a key criterion in choosing the right MFD for your business.
Manufacturers in the industry are working hard on the materials they use. The functionality of modern MFD’s minimize energy consumption and wastage. This varies from the toner now being polymerised to reduce the fusing temperatures and the increase in use of plant-based bioplastics. These bioplastics result in lower environmental impact as it uses less petroleum-based resources. It also emits less CO2 during its lifecycle.
TVC is committed to working in a way to help the environment wherever possible. Sustainability and Multifunctional devices is an important topic. Please read on to find out more.

Protecting the environment and saving natural resources is important to us all. Both brands we supply work hard to provide a sustainable society. They are investing in plant-based plastics and biomass toners, using recycled plastic for the housing of the MFD’s and ensuring the multifunctional devices use as low an electricity consumption as possible. This is achieved by switching to energy saver mode quicker and using less power in sleep mode.
TVC adds to this by following the empty toner bottle recycling programme. This stops the bottles being sent to landfill and has seen them reborn as garden planters and equestrian products amongst other items.
We recycle as many parts as we can, once this is exhausted the high quality materials from them are then sent to appropriate recycling centres. The paper we supply is sourced from ISO 14001 and FSC suppliers. We also have solar panels on our building which has a high EPC rating and all new cars in our small fleet are at least hybrid.
