JKOA takes `go green' nationwide

John Keells Office Automation (Pvt) Ltd., (JKOA) recently announced the islandwide launch of its flagship environmental campaign, "Go Green". The announcement was made at a seminar jointly organised by JKOA and the Federation of Chambers of Commerce and Industry of Sri Lanka (FCCISL), with the full patronage of the Central Environmental Authority (CEA) at CEA Auditorium.

The `Go Green' campaign was launched in the year 2004, making JKOA the first company in Sri Lanka to introduce a scientifically proven method for disposing toner cartridges in order to reduce its environmental footprint.

This initiative introduced a process to collect and dispose of empty original Toshiba toner cartridges in an environmentally friendly manner. The recycling process is carried out by certified plastic recycling plants and the recycled plastics are used to manufacture a variety of other products for domestic/industrial use.

Chandima Perera, Chief Executive Officer, JKOA, said, "We invite interested institutions and individuals to join the `Go Green' campaign.

Many more seminars are scheduled to take place throughout the year, taking the `Go Green' message to every corner of the country. As part of our mission to create a less polluted world, we will give valuable rewards to the people and community at large."

He added, "We are strongly committed to plastic recycling and hope that others too, will follow suit, in whatever ways they can. Many economic and environmental benefits could be derived through the systematic implementation of the latest developments in plastic recycling technology, as case studies show, and we should all make an extra effort towards this end."

JKOA is the leading provider of office automation equipment, software solutions and services in Sri Lanka.

The company is the authorized distributor for Toshiba office automation products
