Konica Minolta Dinged For Being Out Of EPEAT Compliance Over Empty Toner Cartridges.
In terms of imaging equipment, Konica Minolta got dinged a couple of times for being out of compliance with the following optional criteria it was claiming: that it recycles or reuses toner and the plastics from toner cartridges collected through its take-back program. In response, the company stopped claiming those criteria for two different models of office copier/printer/scanner sold in Canada.
Konica Minolta was also out of compliance with the optional cartridge plastics recycling criterion for a specific model of copier/printer/scanner it sells in Australia. In that case, it managed to provide additional evidence to demonstrate its conformance.
