Our environment...our future

Toshiba has made a global commitment to Corporate Social Responsibility. This covers all aspects of our operations, from hiring policies through to environmental activities.

Building a better future- Toshiba’s focus on the environment.

As part of our Corporate Social Responsibility program, we have made a major commitment to reducing the impact of our activities on the environment. We are promoting good environmental management practices across all of our products and business processes, focusing in particular on:
  • Continue strong control of chemical substances
  • Development of environmentally conscious products
  • Recycling of end-of-use products
  • Recycling of toner cartridges

Helping customers dispose of e-waste responsibility.

Toshiba operate a program that helps customers do the right thing when they are disposing of unwanted Toshiba MFP’s or updating with new equipment. The e-CYCLE program both diverts waste from landfill and helps to reduce waste of valuable resources.

Why e-CYCLE?

Fact: Incinerating 10,000 tons of waste creates one job. Land filling it creates 6 jobs. Recycling it creates 36 jobs.
At Toshiba we are constantly looking for new ways to improve the design and manufacturing of our products. Innovations that use less energy, have fewer parts and components that can be used in other forms after the original products have reached the end of its economic life (EOL). Identifying and adopting sustainable environmental strategies has been a long term, ongoing commitment of Toshiba Corporation.

Toshiba Environmentally responsible products.

Increased environmental awareness has been good business for businesses. By implementing purchasing policies that favor environmentally friendly office products, businesses can save on electricity, cut paper costs, reduce waste and even increase productivity. Making a commitment to “Green Up” your organization also gives you the added satisfaction of knowing you are making a contribution to the future of our planet.

Toshiba’s Toner Cartridge Recycling Program

Fact: In a one year period, if the worlds discarded cartridges were stacked end-to-end, they would circle the earth over three times.
Millions of inkjet and laser printer cartridges are used in the US each year, with approximately 95% of used cartridges going to landfill. This convenient solution is not sustainable and we must all acknowledge the importance of the problem if we are to find a positive alternative strategy. Many accept that sending waste to landfill is not a long-term solution as it just leaves the problem for the future generation to deal with.
Highly resistant to degradation, the plastic and metal components of cartridges in a landfill site can last for as long as 1000 years. Toshiba’s toner cartridges recycling partner is Close the Loop Inc (CtL), a company that is leading the world in this specialized field of resource recovery and reuse. They have developed a process that takes cartridges, breaks them up, separates and recovers the metallic component materials and then blends and reprocesses the various mixed plastics remaining on site.
Their highly skilled team of research chemists is a leader in this field and continues to evaluate new ways of streaming and enhancing their processes. Their ‘Zero Waste to Landfill’ process is independently audited and while their operation has achieved ISO 9001 certification, they are working towards ISO 14001 accreditation.
