Make the sustainable choice with Epson PaperLab recycling system

The sustainable way to securely destroy,
recycle and upcycle paper

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

Our revolutionary process

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

Create high-performance materials by defibrating, binding, and transforming raw materials to their respective applications

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
