EPEAT is a definitive global rating system for greener electronics in the United States. EPEAT combines strict, comprehensive criteria for design, production, energy use and recycling with ongoing independent verification of manufacturer claims. It aims to promote the development and sale of green electronics.
EPEAT was first adopted to evaluate PC and display equipment, and in 2013 expanded to cover imaging equipment including MFPs and printers. The 59 environmental criteria for imaging equipment include 33 mandatory criteria such as recovery and recycling of products and consumables. Products that meet all mandatory criteria are eligible for bronze registration. Products that meet all mandatory and 50% of option criteria are eligible for silver, while gold registration for those that in addition meet 75% of the optional criteria.
In March 2014, KYCOCERA's multifunctional products (MFPs) and printers were Silver registered with EPEAT®.
