Environment
Environmental contributions are always the top priority.
- Usage of recycled materials
- Top-class power consumption and class-leading TEC value
- Compliance with various international environmental standards
Usage of recycled materials
Konica Minolta has made further advances on its unique chemical processing technology. It has also increased its use of recycled PC/PET and has raised the PCR ratio*1 to approximately 70%. This recycled material accounts for more than 25% of the weight ratio of the total resin volume in the main unit. The ratio of recycled materials in the surface area of the machine has increased to approximately 78%.

Yearly CO2 emissions:
TEC value × 52 weeks × emission factor

Class-leading power consumption and TEC value
The MFP CPU turns off in sleep mode to deliver a top-class 0.5 W power consumption ratio (in sleep mode). The TEC value has also been reduced approximately 5-18%, which helps reduce CO2 emissions.
