Konica Minolta’s green technologies

oUr Commitment foR a sustaInableeaRth and socIetYAs a leading manufacturer of printing technologies, Konica Minolta considers the protection of the environment an essential part of its corporate management philosophy summed up in its Eco Vision 2050. Konica Minolta commits showing consideration for the environment throughout the entire product lifecycle; undertake initiatives to counter global warming; work towards a recycling-oriented society; the prevention of chemical pollution and the minimisation of potential risks to the environment.

Constant efforts to reduce the environmental footprint of our cutting-edge technologies help improve their efficiency. Two key technologies in Konica Minolta’s many earth friendly innovations and activities are:Our very own polymerised Simitri HD toner reduces CO2 not only during its production process, but also during actual use because it has a lower fusing temperature, which lowers energy consumption during the printing process. In addition, Simitri HD toner contains biomass, which contributes towards achieving CO2 neutrality during recycling and helps reduce the overall carbon footprint of our bizhub office devices.The standardised TEC value (typical electricity consumption) is not manufacturer-specific and indicates a product’s typical electricity consumption over a one-week period, based on average office usage. Konica Minolta MFPs boast very low TEC values, thus deliver the greatest energy savings and play their part in helping to protect the environment.

Zero waste Konica Minolta has self-imposed rigorous zero waste and risk management goals that are achieved by using all acquired resources efficiently, trying to reduce the volume of externally discarded waste with effective internal recycling.
