Q. How much CO2 is my printer emitting?
Your printer is consuming electric power and the power company is emitting CO2 when producing it. This means your printer is emitting CO2 indirectly. The power consumption differs depending on your way of using your printer because it consumes power not only at printing but also when waiting print data.
The TSP100ECO printer will emit 22.0 kg of CO2 from power consumption for 5 years under the following conditions.
- Working 365 days/year
- Printing 300 receipts /day
- Length of Receipt: 150 mm
- Paper Width: 80 mm

11.9 kg of CO2 is emitted by manufacturing and disposing the TSP100ECO printer
Q. Is the cost of CERs (carbon credits) added to the price of TSP100ECO?
No. Star pays the whole cost of carbon offsetting.
Q. Does this carbon offsetting contribute to my company’s reduction target?
No. This carbon offsetting is not transferring carbon credits to you or your company. It contributes to global CO2 reduction.
Q. What is "cancellation of carbon credits"?
Cancellation of carbon credits is to transfer carbon credits to a cancellation account of the government to complete carbon offset.
Once the carbon credits are cancelled, they cannot be used by other parties. It contributes to reduction of global CO2 emissions.
