PaperLab is the world’s first dry process office paper making system 1 that turns waste paper 2 into new paper using a virtually dry process 3 powered by Epson’s unique Dry Fiber Technology. This revolutionary on-demand solution enables your business to securely destroy sensitive information, recycle and reduce societal and environmental impact, as well as add value to your paper output and take control of your paper supplies. Recycling: Turn waste paper into new paper Upcycling: Add value to new paper on demand Security: Securely destroy sensitive information A combination of three processes is used to turn used paper into new paper – defibrating, binding and forming. Unlike traditional processes, PaperLab does not use water during the paper making process. This virtually dry process 3 makes it possible to produce fresh, new sheets of paper in a small, localised cycle. Used Paper Defibration Removes all ink and toner and reduces the waste paper 2 to its fibers. Binding Brings the clean fibers back together, strengthening them and forming new paper to a specified colour and weight. Forming Forms the paper by pressing, then cuts the new paper into A4 or A3 sheets. New Paper Dry Fiber Paper In turn, this technology helps contribute to a circular economy in the following ways: Preservation of water resources as PaperLab paper requires up to 99% less water* Reduction of carbon dioxide Conservation of wood resources Data security is crucial to your business, PaperLab delivers absolute certainty that key confidential waste is safely and effectively destroyed. It removes toner and inks, and channels the waste paper2 back to its fibres. Your information stays safely on site and is never entrusted to external contractors. PaperLab has the versatility your business needs. It can produce up to 720 A4 sheets or 360 A3 sheets per hour4 after the first sheet has been produced, which equates to 5,760 sheets per 8-hour work cycle. First sheet-out time is is 3 minutes 4. This recycled paper can be used with ordinary laser printers, inkjet printers and copiers. Business Inkjet Printers WorkForce Enterprise, WorkForce Pro and EcoTank business printers.
