PERICOM ENDORSES ENERGY SAVING DOCUMENT SCANNERS AND OFFERS RECYCLING PROGRAM

Recycling Program aims to educate consumers and to drive environmentally responsible end-of-life solutions to combat environmental issues

March 11^th, 2008 - Pericom Group of Companies, the market leader in enterprise document imaging and storage solutions today announced the introduction of its document scanner recycling program in Singapore. As a leading I.T. distributor and solution provider in Asia, Pericom understands the value of energy saving products, as well as the need for recycling them to combat global warming and other environmental issues. 

In the past years, Pericom has been offering ENERGY STAR standard, energy-saving, award-winning document scanners by Canon and Avision.  The Canon DR series of document scanners as well as Avision’s range of network and multi-purpose scanners are one of the best selling document scanners worldwide. Consumers buy them for their high performance, ease of use and their energy-saving capabilities. These ENERGY STAR standard document scanners use less energy than other non EPA standards scanners, thus reducing electric bill costs without compromising features or performance. Canon document scanners use half as much electricity than standard equipment and cost the same as less energy-efficient models. As higher energy cost and global warming become more of a concern for consumers, Pericom is committed to offering solutions that help its customers save money, conserve energy and improve the quality of the environment.

Pericom has also taken the offer of Energy Star document scanners a step further by educating its customers about the need to recycle. Since these scanners should not be simply tossed out into the disposal bins, Pericom offers the perfect solution: a program offering to recycle its customers’  old document scanners. This will ensure that such equipments are disposed of through proper waste disposal, thus helping with its company’s firm stance of continuous recycling to combat environmental issues.  "Pericom prides itself on being an active player in corporate social responsibility, global citizenship and sustainable business practices. We believe in strengthening our communities and improving people’s lives through technology. Making our planet a better place for many people is at the heart of everything we do at Pericom; from simple acts like using energy saving bulbs in our office to getting our customer to recycle.” Said Mr. Derek Lee, CEO, Pericom Group of Companies. “So we take a step by offering energy savings products and a free recycling program. And we also ask our customers, to take an environmentally responsible step with us."
