reduce waste and their environmental impact, making linerless labels an attractive option. “Governments and organisations are also likely to impose stricter environmental regulations, further driving the adoption of sustainable labelling solutions like linerless printing.” Sustainability Reduced environmental impact is something that many companies are looking for in their label printing solutions. Part of this involves printers that can print labels in a range of sizes, suggests Michelle. “Such flexibility allows them to optimise label usage, reduce waste, and improve efficiency, all of which align with sustainable practices,” she says. “By adopting these versatile printing solutions, companies can advance their sustainability goals while maintaining operational efficiency. “Our products help businesses meet their sustainability goals in several ways, such as energy efficiency. Our thermal printers are designed to consume less power compared to traditional printers. Features like standby mode and power-saving settings help reduce energy consumption. “Our thermal printers also enable companies to minimise waste by using fewer consumables, like our ribbon saving feature on print and apply solutions, or offering linerless label options, which eliminates the need for backing paper. Precision cutting technology also ensures optimal use of label materials, reducing offcuts. “Thermal printers produce durable labels that can withstand various environmental conditions, reducing the need for reprinting and thus conserving resources,” offers Michelle. TSC becoming more sustainable But it isn’t just about helping its customers reduce their environmental impact, TSC Auto ID is also committed to becoming more sustainable in its own processes. “We have established concrete sustainability strategies and goals for our products and business operation,” says Michelle. “We strive to achieve environmental sustainability and are moving forward towards green manufacturing, green supply chains and green products. “As an example, we use renewable, recycled materials in product design to reduce environmental impact. By 2026, we aim to incorporate an additional 10% recycled material in printer components. “We also use recyclable packaging materials
such as FSC-certified paper cartons to reduce waste and environmental impact. `Our aim is that, by 2026, 100% of our packaging will made from recycled or recyclable materials.” Michelle also highlighted that several TSC printers are designed to consume less energy during use, such as a power saving mode feature or ‘Entergy Star’ certification compliance. Sustainable design TSC products are designed with durability and longevity in mind, so they last longer in the field, which helps reduce waste. Likewise, its printers have modular and repairable designs, making them easy to repair, upgrade or recycle, which can extend their lifecycles and reduce the need for replacement. TSC uses sustainable manufacturing practices, having invested in energy-efficient machinery and processes. It implements processes to reduce, reuse and recycle waste generated during manufacturing and works with suppliers that prioritise sustainability, ensuring raw materials are sourced ethically and sustainably. This is reinforced by its corporate social responsibility (CSR) policies, which are dedicated to creating a diverse, equitable, and inclusive workplace to achieve its ‘Better Me, Better TSC’ objective. “Specific initiatives in this area include employee communication, employee care and human rights policy establishment,” says Michelle. Sustainability is becoming increasingly crucial for organisations. Companies are recognising that sustainable practices are not only important for environmental stewardship but also for long-term business success. “We set sustainability goals and transparently communicate progress to stakeholders, and regularly measure and report on our sustainability status,” she concludes.
