The scheme was first created in 1992 and has been updated in 2007 with a new specification for desktop computers. http://www.energystar.gov/Waste is not limited to energy. Research carried out by printer and ink producer Epson suggests that 60% of ink is thrown away as many printers ask users to discard half-full cartridges. In research carried out the worst offender demanded a replacement after only 40% of the volume had been used. Other models fared better with figures of around 80%. This suggests that printers that use separate cartridges for each colour may be more efficient. http://www.techworld.com/green-it/news/index.cfm?newsID=9163&pagtype=samechanhttp://www.epson.com/
