What’s the difference between a brand-new printer and a refurbished device? A new printer radiates innovation, while a refurbished device highlights sustainability. Both choices guarantee quality and reliability. With bizhub Refreshed, Konica Minolta expands the offering in its webshop, so you can choose what best fits your needs.
Quality and security
The difference between refurbished and new is significant, but not in the way you might think. The quality of refurbished printers is identical to that of new devices. Every unit is thoroughly cleaned, inspected, and tested, and worn parts are replaced. Konica Minolta has built extensive experience in this field within Europe. Refurbished devices therefore achieve the same high printing standards as new printers.
Security is also uncompromised. Before a printer is offered again, Konica Minolta updates its firmware. Just as with the physical parts, all digital traces of previous use are erased. Fully GDPR compliant, any prior data is permanently removed. Each device then receives the latest updates.
Less money, less CO₂
The price tag does make a difference. Choosing refurbished printers means choosing savings. Since the devices have already been manufactured, Konica Minolta can offer them at a sharper price.
Not only your budget benefits, but so does the planet. While recycling is an important step for materials that have truly reached the end of their life cycle, it should be a last resort. Circularity and reuse have a much greater impact. Refurbishing and reusing a printer saves at least 70 percent in greenhouse gas emissions compared to producing and purchasing a new device.
A responsible choice
Don’t forget the EU’s Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD). Europe expects you to report on your sustainability efforts and how your company takes responsibility. Refurbished printers are a valuable asset in this regard.
By choosing refurbished printers through bizhub Refreshed at Konica Minolta, you get recent devices with the same security and quality guarantees, while your company spends less and reduces CO₂ emissions.
The bizhub Refreshed models can be found in the shop. Thanks to Konica Minolta’s well-organized stock and logistics network, devices are immediately available. The range includes several printers, available within the RelaxRate service model.
