9 Ways the Lexmark 9 Series Printers Can Help Your Organization Meet Its Sustainability Goals

by | Jun 9, 2025

In today’s business landscape, sustainability isn’t just a buzzword – it’s a core value and a strategic initiative. As organizations increase their focus on reducing their environmental footprint, a key step includes investing in environmentally responsible office technology which includes even seemingly small aspects like office printing. The Lexmark 9 Series printers and multifunction printers (MFPs) are designed with sustainability in mind, offering innovative features that contribute to a greener office. Let’s explore nine ways in which the latest product launch from Lexmark – the Lexmark 9 series – can help organizations just like yours meet your sustainability goals.

9 Ways the Lexmark 9 Series Promotes Sustainability

A priority for all organizations should be moving towards more sustainable office printing including reducing waste, conserving energy, and minimizing carbon footprints. For over three decades, Lexmark has been at the forefront of promoting sustainability and circular economy principles in the printing industry. This is why Lexmark prioritizes durable, intentionally-engineered, and rigorously tested print hardware devices that are rated to last more than seven years, on average. With that said, here are nine ways the Lexmark 9 series printers and MFPs can help you drive your sustainability mission within your organization.


1. Industry-Leading PCR Content
With figures that lead the industry, the Lexmark 9 Series’ total post-consumer recycled (PCR) content is 56% by weight for all base-model MFPs and 73% by weight for the base-model printer, based on IEEE calculation procedures.


2. Reduce Waste Without Sacrificing Style
Select panels on the Lexmark 9 series print devices are made with a stylish-looking product called black alloy. This is a type of plastic that uses more PCR content and thus reduces waste, and also looks quite sharp.


3. Free Supplies Recycling with a Zero-Landfill Policy
Through the Lexmark Cartridge Collection Program (LCCP) it is 100% free to recycle your Lexmark 9 Series toner cartridges and other supplies. Lexmark then reclaims the material from those recycled cartridges and creates PCR plastic. In doing so, this has placed Lexmark as the largest remanufacturer of Lexmark cartridges in the world using these sustainable materials.


4. More Efficient Packaging, Less Plastic
New volume-efficient packaging designs for the Lexmark 9 Series MFPs and printers improve container efficiency by over 10% compared to previous generations. These new designs use 43% less plastic, 50% less single-use plastic, and PCR content is used when possible.


5. Paper Settings That Help Combat Printing’s #1 Environmental Impact
When it comes down to reducing your environmental impact, cutting down on paper usage is the biggest contributing factor. Lexmark 9 series print devices are automatically set up for duplex, or double-sided, printing right out of the box. Utilizing duplex printing is a super easy way to use about half the paper you would with typical one-sided printing.


6. Fewer Parts
Having fewer components means less raw materials is needed to produce the print devices, thus resulting in fewer imaging components being use which helps minimize environmental impact.


7. Longer Lifespan of Your Printer
All Lexmark print devices, including the Lexmark 9 series, are intentionally engineered to last seven years or more. This longer lifespan means up to 40% fewer units are created when compared with competitor devices that are usually designed to last five years. And of course, getting more lifespan out of your printer or MFP means cost savings for you when it comes to print hardware and total cost of ownership.


8. Reducing Waste with Technology
All Lexmark 9 Series printers and MFPs can be integrated into a managed print services or Lexmark Cloud Services engagement via AI-driven supply calculations and IoT sensors that detect and prevent issues before they happen. These technology-based, data-driven, and industry-leading solutions can give organizations greater than 30% reduction waste of materials.


9. Lexmark is in the Top 1% of Corporate Sustainability
Lexmark has been awarded the prestigious EcoVadis Platinum Rating which goes to the Top 1% of the highest-performing organizations in terms of sustainability and corporate social responsibility. Lexmark has also registered over 200 products, including the Lexmark 9 series printers and MFPs, with Gold and Silver EPEAT ratings, which are the highest ratings available.

Investing in a Lexmark 9 Series printer or MFP the next time you need to refresh your workplace print technology is more than just an upgrade of your office equipment – it’s making a tangible commitment to a more sustainable future for your organization. By leveraging these innovative features, you can significantly reduce your environmental footprint, save on operational costs, and contribute to a greener planet. It’s a win-win for your business and the environment!
