TOSHIBA IS ENVIRONMENTALLY CONSCIOUS

Toshiba understands the importance of a better environment and has a strong commitment to the effective use of natural resources, reduction of energy consumption and environmental protection worldwide.
Many of our toner and developer containers are now comprised of an average of at least 25% recycled plastics by weight. These black-colored containers signify recyclability and natural recycling.
Many of our copier toner containers are marked with the proper recycling code for sorting at the recycling center and can be recycled locally.
Toshiba offers a Toner Cartridge Recycling Program for our Toshiba printers. Under this program, the customer can return the empty cartridge for recycling using a prepaid mailing label contained in the box.
It is our intention to recycle all Toshiba cartridges but presently some cartridges cannot be recycled using current processes. Please check with a local recycler to recycle or dispose of those supplies in the most environmentally-friendly way.
Most Toshiba copiers use organic photoconductors which are non-toxic and biodegradable.
All of our stands have a powder-coat finish which contains no solvents. This means that during application, no dangerous fumes are emitted, and any overspray from the powder is 98% reclaimed into the system.

Eco Product Design:

Creating environmentally responsible products is at the heart of every technological advance we make. We build award-winning products; but we’ve also built a reputation as a leader in delivering products that minimize waste. Most Toshiba products are Energy Star® rated, and our two top product series have received the latest Energy Star Tier Two rating.

Because of our minimal use of hazardous substances, we are RoHS compliant, and through the responsible collection, treatment, recycling and recovery of the products we build, Toshiba is also WEEE compliant. All of Toshiba’s printed circuit boards are 100% lead-free and halogen-free, and about half of all our recycled plastic parts are halogen-free. We offer service modules that are rebuildable as well as developer units that are self-refreshing. We use state-of-the-art processing to separate materials, and cartridges are recycled with zero-waste-to-landfill.

A number of our product features are designed to minimize the environmental footprint. For example, to reduce paper waste we’ve implemented duplex by default printing and an omit blank page function, as well as electronic product manuals rather than those made of paper. And while most sleep modes use 5 watts of power or more, we now have a Super-Sleep Mode that uses only 1 watt.
