In response to the global emphasis on the circular economy, GPI is harnessing its core technology and leveraging years of proven design expertise and capabilities to enhance the added value of GPI and Cartridge Web products. We are committed to providing high-quality products to the market, aiming to efficiently recycle resources and reduce the environmental burden caused by GPI or Cartridge Web products. We follow the 3R resource recycling and sustainability principles (Reduce, Reuse, Recycle) to guide new product design, development, and marketing, focusing on energy-saving and carbon reduction.
The development of environmentally friendly solutions within the green economy has been a global trend, especially in the European region. In response to this trend and competition from other players, CW began its journey to align with the green economy in June 2020. The focus shifted towards reducing non-environmentally friendly packaging materials and incorporating recycled materials in plastic components, all of which are envisaged to support sustainable growth and ecological responsibility while reducing resource consumption. CW is continuing its efforts in launching eco-friendly products, emphasizing the use of alternative packaging materials, such as replacing plastics with pulp.
In 2022, a total of 15 eco-friendly cartridges were launched. Each of these products utilized up to 95% recycled plastics and avoided plastic materials in their packaging, aligning with the goal of reducing the use of non-environmentally friendly materials. You may find more information in our eco-friendly section. We will continue looking for opportunities to develop more green products that can provide a satisfactory printing experience without concerns of hazardous and supply shortages.
CW is committed to providing customers with safe and secure products. We regularly send materials for SGS testing to confirm compliance with the European Union's Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS) directive, Chemical Registration, Evaluation, Authorization, and Restriction of Chemicals (REACH) requirements, as well as individual customer requirements for banned and restricted hazardous substances. We maintain stringent control over component materials, ensuring that our products pass 100% of health and safety assessments. Assessment types include compliance declarations, testing and verification reports, safety data sheets, and more.
We closely monitor domestic and international policy trends and regulations that may impact CW’s products. We track and assess relevant laws and regulations, formulate policy measures, and conduct educational training to ensure CW’s compliance with all relevant legal requirements.
