Konica Minolta gets environment tick
August
2007 /Konica Minolta has won an Environmental Choice accreditation in
recognition of the company’s efforts to decrease the impact its
products have on the planet.Environmental Choice New Zealand is a
government initiated labelling programme designed to help consumers
find products that minimize adverse environmental impacts generated by
the production, distribution, use and disposal of products.Konica
Minolta general manager Warwick Beban says, “The process of gaining
accreditation brought our team closer together because we were all
working for a common goal that affects all of us as New Zealanders.”The
Environmental Choice ‘ecolabel’ is based on stringent criteria relating
to legislative compliance, design, materials, emissions, noise,
packaging, recycling, energy, duplex copying, availability of spare
parts and consumables, paper and consumer information.”We’re proud of
our achievement and want our customers to feel assured they have a
responsible partner in Konica Minolta,” says Mr Beban.One area that
also gained Konica Minolta points is in its multi-function
printer-copier refurbishment. Each month the company refurbishes over
300 multi-functional devices and resells them back to the market,
creating significant cost savings for customers.Devices not suitable
for the New Zealand market are also exported to continue their working
lives in South-East Asia and the Middle East.Konica Minolta is also
rolling out include machine end-of-life disposal to ensure plastic,
metal and glass parts are fully recycled, environmentally sound battery
disposal, packaging recycling and toner cartridge recycling.
