Saving
the planet is everyone's responsibility
ENVIRONMENTAL
RESPONSIBILITY
Saving
the planet is everyone's responsibility. Today's
copier manufacturers are doing more and more to
ensure that their products are environmentally
safe. You can help by being more environmentally
aware when making your next purchase.
Look closely before you commit. All Toshiba copiers
recycling and facsimile sold in Australia and
New Zealand are engineered to meet and exceed
all current and foreseeable environmental and
safety regulations now in place or proposed around
the world. Our copiers and supplies are designed
to conserve natural resources and minimize the
use of harmful substances. But responsibility
should not stop with the manufacturer. As a buyer
you, too, need to be environmentally aware. Ask
about ozone emissions, noise levels, paper recycling
and supplies recycling.

ENVIRONMENTAL
COMPATIBILITY
Long
before it was popular to be "pro environment,"
Toshiba was developing products, systems and management
policies to deal with this important issue. In
1989, for example, Toshiba created a special charter
titled, "Basic Regulations for an Environment
Research and Development Centre staffed by more
than 100 researchers, technicians and engineers.
In 1991, Toshiba established a Global Environmental
Committee to identify and focus on environmental
concerns around the world. This committee consists
of corporate executives who continually strive
to develop new products with the environment in
mind.

Toshiba
cares about the world; in which we live
ENERGY
USAGE
Smart shoppers who value high performance at a
low cost will be concerned about energy usage.
By buying an environmentally friendly copier or
fax they will save on electricity, cut paper costs,
reduce waste, and even increase productivity.
Because they care about the world in which we
live, they'll enjoy the extra satisfaction of
owning an environmentally superior product.
OZONE
Ozone appears naturally in the earth's atmosphere
as a result of electrical discharges in the air.
For example, during thunderstorms and by the ultraviolet
light of the sun. A comparatively small amount
of ozone is produced by all electrical discharges,
including those from household or office appliances.
All copiers using the electrostatic principle
generate ozone. Toshiba's State-of-the-Art technology
and dedication to research and development have
minimized the system-inherent ozone. Any ozone
still generated is eliminated almost completely
by efficient ozone filters.
NOISE
While there is no current regulation regarding
noise levels, we recognize that there's no greater
nuisance in the work environment. As a matter
of fact, noise has been linked to job stress.
All Toshiba copiers are designed to contribute
to a lownoise environment. Energy Saver features
put the unit in standby mode, reducing noise and
saving energy.
PAPER
RECYCLING
Increased environmental awareness has resulted
in extensive use of recycled paper. While improvements
are being made daily, there are many paper grades
that do not comply with the recommendations of
copier manufacturers. Some recycled papers have
extremely short fibres or higher resin content.
So, be sure to ask questions about the paper you
buy.
Poor quality paper can affect wear and tear on
your copier. As a result, misfeeds can become
more frequent or service may be required more
often. Toshiba continues to actively test and
evaluate recycled paper to come up with one specifically
designed and recommended for the efficient operation
of Toshiba Copiers.
