UTraining Partners with SOS Group to Boost Sustainability and Efficiency

At UTraining, our commitment to sustainability goes beyond words—we’re taking action. That’s why we’ve partnered with SOS Group to implement practical solutions that help us reduce our energy usage, cut waste, and support a greener future.

By switching to Epson’s innovative heat-free business inkjet technology, we’re significantly lowering our energy consumption and minimising waste from printing operations. This not only reduces our carbon footprint but also aligns with our core values of sustainability and low-carbon practices.

Darren Bain, Director of UTraining, says:

“We’re committed to reducing our carbon footprint in line with our company values of sustainability and low carbon practices. Working with SOS Group, we were able to specifically identify areas where improvements could be made, and this new print technology is helping us significantly reduce our energy and consumables usage. It’s a simple but very effective step to take and we’re now looking at using SOS Group’s zero-waste recycling programme to give all our used ink and toner cartridges a new life.”

SOS Group’s zero-waste recycling programme ensures that all printer and copier consumables—including plastics and metals from all makes and models—are separated, cleaned, and reused, guaranteeing a zero-to-landfill process. This specialist solution has significant environmental benefits, including reduced landfill waste, resource conservation, and lower pollution.

Andrew Skelton, Director at SOS Group, adds:

“Every workplace or organisation is looking closely at areas where efficiency can be improved from an environmental and cost perspective. Many businesses labour too long with older technology and devices that were simply not designed with modern energy efficiency standards in mind. Switching to newer, energy-efficient models like Epson’s heat-free technology can dramatically lower operating costs and support sustainability goals.”

At UTraining, we’re proud to set an example for our learners and partners by embedding sustainability into everything we do—from the classroom to our own operations.
